Description

This image was captured in sublime seeing conditions - observing visually through the telescope at 800x, there was no wobble at all with incredible details. The great spot is at conjunction with Oval BA. With this very favorable opposition, I decided to capture nicely the four Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, which are seen below. Io has its characteristic orange color and Ganymede reveals some neat surface detail.
