Jupiter tonight

[Costavar (Costa)]

Had the most stable view of Jupiter tonigt since I bought my scope about 3 weeks ago. Easily distinguishing 2 belts and a moon shadow in line with the northern belt (I think...). Not sure which moon it would be. Any ideas?

Its most likely to be Io because its the closest moon to Jupiter.
Though there is a chance that it may not.

That will be the Ganymede shadow on the southern belt.
Great fun isn't it.
