I have just been out having a quick look. The seeing looks like it is going to be brilliant but the scope is still cooling. I was able to get a nice image at about 210X with the 6mm ortho, despite the still cooling scope. Europa has left the disc and is now about 5" away from the planet. Io is in transit and right on the meridian and Europa's shadow can be seen just beginning it's transit. Io is a little difficult to spot as it is set right in the middle of the SEB.
