Description

Near opposition taken Sep 23 just before midnightt US CST time. I took several images, and chose this one to post here, since it shows Io and its shadow as they exit their transit. Notice how Io is a bit elongated. I have not researched it, but I believe it shows the movement of the moon over the 60s interval of the image set. Enjoy!
