Transit of Europa 26th September 2010
Hi All,

Here are my images of the transit of Europa on the morning of 26th September 2010.

The first one is overexposed. I'm pretty happy with the second one given the seeing. The seeing got worse as the altitude of the planet got lower towards the end.

Thanks for looking.

Take care,
Doug
