[AZ-Observing] Double Shadow Transit

Nice transit of both Io and Ganymede happening right now.  The small shadow
of Io is right on the equator, above the Great Red Spot, and Io is trailing
behind it, which comes and goes with seeing.  Ganymede's shadow is much
larger, and is just coming onto the ball, though the moon itself is still
seen against the sky.  It will remain on Jupiter for a few hours.  To add
to the nearly moonless scene, Europa is behind Jupiter now.
