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.

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

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

Indeed Rick. There's some albedo on it.
