Description

Another famous Galilean, Callisto is a bit annoying to photograph because it has a much smaller albedo than the other satellites of Jupiter.

I did not have the same success as with Europe because I believe that the darkest central spot should be some optical phenomenon and not a real spot that stood out in photos because it has a much more homogeneous tone surface.

However, I believe that the Heimdall crater may be perfectly recognized as a lighter stain near the south pole. In these cases, when a light spot is very close to the limbus, a small bump occurs in the photo, this is very evident when filming Io that practically never leaves round but rather quite oval.

I'm training to get a better picture the day that seeing resolve to help, so at least I'll already know the capture parameters that I should use on each of the giant's moons.
