Saturn with Titan transiting (animation) - 7 January 2025 - 17:22UT
Really rare event - although there have been a handful this apparition given Saturn's inclination - glad the weather somehow cooperated.
Also taken with the 10" f/20 Mak and making use of the new ADC at such low altitude.

Fabulous batch of images Roberto. I partocularly like the Animation of occultation of Ganymede and transit of Io, I can't seem to find a link to the video for this.
I also love the last image of Jupiter and of course the Solar image with the spectroheliograph.
I am not going to be able to present every single one as the presentation is almost full. I sincerely hope enough members look on the forum as well as on Whatsapp.
Fantastic images Roberto
Love the video of Jupiter, Ganymede and Io
:)
Thank you Carole and Dave!

I really like the stack of the transit that shows some detail on Io.

Indeed Rick. There's some albedo on it.
