I add my compliments to Bob's ones.
I enjoyed so much your start.cel that I included the three shadows script both in my next "eclipses and occultations" script, and at the end of Bob's Jupiter Tour, with some little additions that in my opinion can give more feeling of what is happening during that phenomenon.
Here it is:
**********************
{
select { object "Sol/Jupiter/Io" }
time { jd 2450763.64100 }
follow {}
timerate { rate 40.0 }
set { name "FOV" value 35.0 }
gotolonglat { time 10 distance 9 longitude -165.14389 latitude -3.22164 }
wait {duration 34}
select { object "Jupiter" }
goto { time 1 distance 220 }
wait {duration 1}
timerate { rate 10.0 }
synchronous {}
set { name "FOV" value 0.3 }
wait {duration 15}
set { name "FOV" value 0.7 }
wait {duration 15}
set { name "FOV" value 3.0 }
setvisibilitylimit { magnitude 15.0 }
orbit { axis [1 0 0 ] rate 3 duration 3 }
wait {duration 1}
orbit { axis [0 1 0 ] rate 4 duration 4 }
wait {duration 45}
}

By and thank you again.
