Description

Since the atmosphere was transparent but turbulent like a swimming pool, the selected exposure time is 4 ms in an attempt to freeze the frames while obtaining as much frames as possible within a minute. Any longer would have resulted in smearing because of Jupiter's fast rotation.

So far so good, all captures a success also because the cloud gaps were generously wide. Of course, the hunt was for the transit of Ganymede. Not sure whether the feature on Ganymede is real or merely a stacking/wavelet artifact, or a mix of both.
