Default Jupiter + GRS + Io - 10th May UT

Hi all

Here's an image that I finally finished processing, taken on the 11th May local time. Seeing was pretty good, but fell short of being excellent. The seeing was best for only about 20 minutes of the session, but fell away before and after that time.

Io can be seen transiting just past the CM (North is up).

A 4-frame animation, only covering 35 minutes or so, can be found here (500k gif):

Thanks for looking.
