The Giant Planet, showing transit of the GRS, and an interesting dance of satellites: Io emerges, f limb S of SEB, while Europa passes onto the disk, f limb N of NEB.
I cannot quite understand why Europa not shown in the first image. Maybe it got cut off at some stage of the processing, but it seems to grow at the limb between the 07:41 and 07:47 images. Since it should just wander in from the side, I can only attribute that to something to do with the stacking process.
Anyway, the sequence looks quite realistic as a video.
