Galilean Shadow Transit

Galilean Shadow Transit

I captured this shot on Friday night during the Public Stargazing session of Galilean Moon Ganymede passing in between Jupiter and the Sun causing an eclipse to take place on Jupiter. The black dot is the shadow cast by Ganymede which is to the top left of Jupiter. The moon on the right is Io. The sky was a bit hazy which is why the shot looks slightly diffuse.
