Details:
As I was capturing the planet Jupiter with its moon Io, I noticed a dark spot on one of the clouds bands through the live view. At first, I thought it was the red spot, but the GRS was on the opposite side. Then I thought it could've been the shadow of Io, but Io didn't cast a shadow until a couple hours after this was taken.
I checked the view on Stellarium, but I wasn't seeing any cloud/storm patterns that looked like this. Is this normal? Or something I missed?
Photographed with ZWO ASI585MC through 20 inch Reflecting scope.
This was taken around 8:30 PM CST on March 6, 2026
