Great Work, Jim.  I did not get to see this event as I was traveling last night.  Thank you for sharing it.  I agree with Alan, no retirement for you, yet!

Last night the seeing was very nearly perfect and I was able to capture the dual transit of Ganymede & Europa from 11 PM until 2 AM by taking an image every 20 minutes.  Jupiter shows lots of good detail at I suspect the limit of my 8 inch aperture and its 30 degree altitude and even Ganymede is visible as it travels across the disc of Jupiter.

I am now officially retired from imaging Jupiter for 2009.
