Description

12mins before I've made my very best image of Jupiter (see: "Jupiter eclipses Ganymede - August 27th), I used the full width of my camera sensor to frame the planet with 3 of the 4 Galilean Moons and you can clearly see the different characteristics:

Ganymede - dark brown
Io - yellow/orange due to its volcanic activity
Callisto - weak albedo, greyish

And that you can see in my video/image captured, compared to the WINJUPOS view provided - not bad for a just 10inch scope and 44° above the horizon.
