My first Ganymede of 2008

[iceman]

Well it's not much - the altitude was about 40deg and the seeing was only 6/10 but here's my first Ganymede for 2008.

It's only 1.3 arcseconds in diameter, and over 5.7au distant (over 850million km's) but there's still some detail visible.

Hopefully more to come :)

Good effort, Mike.

Although the thumbnail stays very small when you click it:shrug:

It's a small image (under 200pixels wide).

Wow Mike! Your images continue to amaze me. :D

On my computer moniter I can actually see some surface detail showing. Very well done.

Amazing that you've captured so much detail this far from opposition Mike :)
