Is the observation date/time 2023 Nov 16 - 22:00 correct ? My CdC does not show an Io transit at that time.

Hi Robin, thanks for the comment - my bad, it was 6 Nov 2023 not the 16th

Hi Kevin,

The only reason I spotted it was I was fascinated by the moon (Ganymede) which disappears briefly near the end to see if it might have been a mutual eclipse. Was Ganymede out of shot in the videos that made those particular frames?
