Nice image. I saw less color but much more detail in my 14.5"? starmaster/zambuto.

Your image showsa suble circular spot right next to the shadow of Io. By skysafari shows Io on the other side of the shadow (between the GRS and the shadow).
I did see Io in the face of Jupiter once. But only after it was very near the limb if jupiter (in Mike Wirths original 18").? Trees will block my view before Io reached the limb of Jupiter tonight.

Got it in my 8" SCT from my Ottawa back yard. At least the Red Spot and Io's shadow. Can't identify Io itself.

The GRS and Io's shadow are easily seen. But i can't see Io itself. Seeing not as good as i had hoped. Scope also has some tube currents.
The great red spot will be on the face of jupiter tonight around
22:29, accompanied by Io and Io's shadow. This is unusual becaues Io
and it's shadow will be less than an arcsecond apart and are both
right on the north edge of the GRS.
Usually, Io is near impossible to see when its in front of jupiter.
But tonight, with the GRS and IO's shadow localizing it, it may be
possible to spot it. You'll know when you see IO, it is distinctly
yellow.
