Description

Jupiter; north is up, east to the right.

It was aligned and stacked with my own algorithm in Matlab, and enhanced using gimp.

The two moon shadows are from Io (on equator) and Callisto (southern), at least according to the Sky and Telescope "Jupiter's Moons" applet. This applet also indicates Io is passing across Jupiter's face, but I cannot see it in my processed image.
