Jupiter with Europa in transit and Io

About this image

Taken over an hour from just before and after midnight of 4-5 August in occasional gaps between hazy cloud.  I managed to capture Europa approaching and its shadow on Jupiter, then both on Jupiter including the first contact of Europa and finally two images with Io also in shot.  The last image lower right is in infrared using a 742nm IR pass filter.
