Double eclipse on Jupiter from Norway january 3 2013.

"Eclipses" by Ganymedes (lower shadow) which is visible in the image and Io (upper shadow). Time: january 3 2013 20.32 UT. Celestron 9.25, 2.5x power mate, and dbk21 color camera.

Still can't get the darn thing sharp. The seeing was pretty bad. Could not get a visible ring pattern when collimating, but by using the bulls eye tool in phd guiding I used the Starshoot autoguider and collimated on screen to get the blury pattern as concentric and circular as possible (thanks for the idea to my friend Harald).
