What did U see with Jupiter last night?
I saw Io eclipse Europa. This morning, Io’s shadow was cast on Europa for about 5minutes from 4.48am. I only noticed the dimming (said to 0.55 magnitude) for approximately the central 2 minutes of the event when it became very obvious.
This is the first time that I have seen any of these eclipses that only occur only during one in every six years, so I am quite chuffed.
I used my little 81mm Vixen with a 12.5mm Ortho EP. (50x)
Jupiter is always a fine sight, but both clouds and life interfere. Or maybe, U were testing some equipment. Regardless, if U saw it last night, kindly share your observation with us!
