I used a 130mm reflector at 100x to make this sketch. The weather was cold and clear with good seeing and a limiting magnitude of 5.4. Despite the good seeing, I had to be quite patient to see all the shadows. Callisto itself was easy but Io was quite difficult. It was wonderful to see the shadows suddenly appear during moments of good seeing but at other times not all of them were visible at any one time.
Steve,

Frank 🙂
