Jupiter - occultation at December/25 (now, complete !)

It didn't work as I wished. Strong refraction, hot temperature, and some wind didn't let me get good focus and images.
A wrong strategy, using high magnification with barlow, aided the bad results.
Well, we are not perfect !

GSO 305 mm - barlow ED 2x - SPC 880

first and second - IN - Io shadow can be seen.
third - OUT - (it was very difficult to assemble this image. Moon was very bright, and Jupiter very faint. I needed two different photos to make it)

And last photo is Jupiter before the event. It is here because I saw a dark spot over NEB. Is it a result of a recent old impact or a new impact ?
The strong dark spot on SEB is Io shadow.
