About this image

This was a rare transit by Callisto which more often than not passes above or below Jupiter rather than trasittting. Seeing wasn't particularly good (as it hasn't been for a low Jupiter this year) but I managed one reasonable sequence with Io to left of Jupiter and Europa to right while Callisto started its transit.
