Sunday March 16th saw the shadows of Io and Ganymede on the disc of Jupiter at the same time. A few of the Worthing Astronomers and I headed down to Worthing seafront and set up on the promenade to capture this event The evening started really well with lots of frames being captured in the build up to the double transit which started at 22:22. Almost unbelievably at 22:10 my Battery started to die (My 17Ah battery is no longer adequate). Fortunately I was lent a power supply just in time to capture some frames that I stacked into a half decent image. I have achieved better with the little SPC900 before but I think the power failure and the rush to maintain my tracking didn't help This is 1600 frames taken using my 150P and the Phillips SPC900 aligned and stacked in Registax 6
