Europa Occulting Io, May 12
On the morning of May 12 (May 13 local time) at about 6.20am there was an occultation of Io by Europa. The close proximity of this event to sunrise caused a lot of seeing problems, and so the quality of the frames in the animation are not so good.
Io is approx 1" in diameter, and Europa is a litle smaller at 0.8".
I'll probably clean this up a bit later and add some captions etc.
cheers, Bird
