Michael Hicks and I just finished observing an Io eclipse at
the Lowell 72", with OSIRIS at 2.3 and 1.7 microns.
Io is still unusually bright in eclipse, suggesting that the
eruption first seen around July 20 is still in progress.
Brightness during occultation reappearance increased suddenly
about halfway through the reappearance, again suggesting that
the same source seen in late July is still bright, but there
was further brightening later, indicating important flux
sources further east on Io as well.  More detailed photometry
of the occultation should clarify the picture.
