Jupiter Triple Shadow Transit -12 October 2013

Did anyone get up before dawn to witness the very rare event of the Triple Shadow Transit on the disc of Jupiter? This hasn't happened for 9 years.
I could see the planet shining brightly outside my bedroom window, so I decided to set up the 6.2" apochromatic refractor in the backyard.
Using my 6.7mm Meade (at 167X), I could see Callisto's shadow near the south pole and Europa's tiny shadow just below the south equatorial belt at 5am.
Clouds kept coming and going, and I really thought this was all I was going to observe.
But finally, at 5.45am, I saw Io's shadow right on the SEB. What a great relief!
Truly historic event -2014 is going to be a bore, right? Simply put, the year of 2013 has been a most thrilling year for me so far! And in early November, Valerie and I are going to witness another Total Solar Eclipse in the Atlantic Ocean.

That's greats stuff there Aubrey, glad you saw it, we tried here in Limerick but were clouded out, ah well, until next time, whenever that is. ....

We might have to wait another 9 years for the next triple shadow transit -hopefully not!
I seem to have been exceptionally blessed - I live in Ranelagh, south Dublin. But a good friend of mine couldn't see it just up the road in Rathfarnham / Dundrum area because of completely overcast skies.

The sky here was totally cloud-covered when I got up to have a look. Bit depressing as I'd set the scope up with the aim of capturing video.

Glad a few people got to see it.

What is your rough location, Martinus?

I seem to be the only Joe Blogs to have enjoyed the event.

I'm in north Armagh, Aubrey.

I was hoping that moving away from Belfast would improve my imaging with lower light pollution but I seem to have traded the sodium soup for near permanent cloud cover and the nearby floodlights of a football ground.
