Jovian moons: Io eclipsing Europa 2026-05-25 03:19 UTC

 Here's an image of Jupiter with moons Europa and Io to the left.


I caught it mid eclipse missing the beginning at which time Europa was in Io's shadow, but not occulted (not directly blocked from earth's view).  

Here's a time lapse starting mid eclipse:

Image details:
see annotation in first image
mediocre seeing
elevation 32 degrees
The animation took forever to process due to collimation artifacts manually edited in each frame :(
