Io transits Jupiter

This composite of Jupiter features a shadow transit of Io, with the moon itself visible as a yellowish disc just to the right of the dark round shadow. The image was made under good seeing conditions (7 in the 10-point scale by Pickering) and mostly transparent skies (4 in a 5-point scale).
