I have had a couple of unsuccessful attempts at Jupiter over the last week, and was not confident this morning after some very poor seeing for Mars, Venus and Saturn. But I managed to find it just above the observatory wall, barely discernible against the light sky. As I processed, I realised that I had imaged during a double-double transit, with Europa (not well seen) and its shadow on the southern edge of the SEB and Io and its shadow approaching the preceding limb. I am still going to have a look at the earlier data, but I am presenting what I think was the best I got. Unfortunately, it is about a minute or two after Io's shadow had left the planet (the dark spot on the limb looks too far south, and I believe is an artefact from the severe processing). But a start to the new apparition for me.[Clyde Foster:Centurion,South Africa]
