Last night's planet captures 15 December

When we started the sky was clear, so we leisurely started taking videos of Europa approaching the limb of Jupiter with the intention of capturing the whole transit. But then we noticed clouds hovering on the horizon, so quickly slewed to a very low Mars (it just made it to 20 degrees) for a couple of videos and then returned to Jupiter just as Europa was touching the limb and watched as Io appeared from behind Jupiter's shadow. Then the clouds ended play.
We have included Stellarium's Mars simulation for the time of our image and it correlates well with our image.
