Am I seeing things? I am a bit new to this.

Many thanks

hi shane,
checked jupiter 2. what you saw was Callisto transiting jupiter.(Not the shadow,as it started at 6 O'clock in the morning which would of been imposible to see).As for the dark smudge i'm pretty sure you must of been looking at the GRS. Was it on one of the major bands?
