Description

The intention was to get some nice IrRGB sequences from the double transit of Europa and Io, but the clouds thought otherwise...

So here are 4 frames, using a C11, f/25, Grasshopper 3, IR Baader 685 nm filter, near 4000 each, used 2000, from 06:08 to 06:36 UTC.

Seeing was promissing at the beginning, a 2/5, with low transparency, but soon it degraded, with bursts of strong turbulence and finally clouds to end my ambitions.

Anyway, the entering of Io shadow just before Europa contacting the limb of Jupiter gave a nice view.
