transit of io

I'm afraid, I am off to bed now, I look forward to seeing your pics when you get them processed. Best of luck with them

I have a small sequence which I'll put up tomorrow after some sleep , otherwise I'll be up all night.

Trevor, Dave,

Watched it here too from Tralee. I tried some imaging so this still will have to do till we get Daves full animation



Now I am off to bed too......zzzzzzzzz

nice pic, you can just make out the moon on the edge of the planet. you also picked up some nice detail/colouring on the NEB

Nice image Michael, I was surprised at how difficult Io was to see on the disk of the planet, I've seen transits before of the other moons and they were definitely more noticable.

BTW, I wouldn't be expecting any great shakes from what I got last night, the seeing was not as good as in previous nights, so now I'm off for a few hours to process them.

What size of telescope would you need to see a transit. I have a Celsetron 6" and I have never seen a transit. Maybe I'm not trying hard enought.
