Yea Io has just moved of the disc at the end of the shadow transit. It was easy to see the shadow but I could not see the moon crossing the disc.

You have already started step 3, basic AP by putting the smarter phone camera to the eyepiece. Sure at the top end AP can be a highly technical and expensive deal, but you can do a lot on the simple and cheap side with modern tech, and capture a few momento's.

Here's a pic of the moon and jupiter (daytime shot) through a pair of binoculars with a point and shoot camera.
