I did not expect to get an image this evening. It was cloudy most of the day and forecast was rain!
But the sky cleared at  around 9pm local time so I was able to grab some images.  Seeing was okay.
Io can be seen transiting Jupiter's SEB. The three red spots are visible. The GRS is rising on the southwest.
The new Red Spot Z is at the CM. RSZ has a pale reddish color. The NNTZ LRS is prominent.
Note the dark red barges to it's south.

Please find attached a brief Jupiter observation from last night. Although the seeing was good,low passing cloud stopped observations after 20 minutes or so.
Europa was close to the fil. limb,I estimate first contact to be at about 2202UT.  Other points of interest include:
-A SSTB and SSTZ was discernible
-SEB showed a number of interesting features including darker sections in the SEBz and a number of bright irregular sections in the SEBn.
These regions are hard to render but the drawing gives a reasonable impression of them.
-EZ was rather quiet,a few festoons present but the zone but not as many as previously.
-NEB contains some interesting dark structures and lighter sections.
-NTropZ a bright white zone.
-NTB yellowish but had a darker brownish slightly irregular northern edge.
-NTZ for once this was white.  Normally I perceive this region yellowish but last night it was definitely white in colour.
By 2204UT cloud cover was complete.

After several weeks of low pressure 壮torms・over the UK,
we finally had a few hours of steady air and clear skies on the evening of the 9th Feb.
The attached is the best from that night,and is an average of 6,000 frames (12,000 were captured for this image).

In this session observation conditions are very favorable and image sharpness that has been achieved is quite satisfactory,
to the point of achieving the registration of some surface features of the moon Ganymede
that is ending its transit through the planetary disk of Jupiter.
The dark oval spot is the shadow of Ganymede. The acquisition data are in the image.
