This image of Jupiter was taken at 2:30am on the morning of September 8^th shortly after Io completed a transit of the planet. I thought that it was neat that this image shows a hint of detail on Io as well as its beautiful color. I still have some data sets sitting on my hard drive that were taken during the transit that I will process as soon as I get a chance.

Jupiter rises in the northeast during the early evening and is high in the south after midnight.
