Default Ganymede and Europa
Hi guys

This avi was sitting on my hard-drive since the 25th May and I finally got around to processing it. The pairing of Ganymede and Europa were too far away from Jupiter to be imaged or composited together, but they made a fine target on their own.

12" newt, 5x powermate, DMK21AU04, 15fps (1/15s exposure), 1 minute each channel in RGB.

Thanks for looking.

The big one below Ganymede is a simulation from the NASA Solar System simulator.

Europa is on the right.

Nice detail.

I took some shots of Callisto/Europa, on Monday AM, that showed some detail on Cal., but neglected looking for Ganymede on the other side of the planet. My brain sometimes fades after 1 or 2 AM.
