imaging question

a question about imaging jupiter and its moons...

I fully understand that due to the rotational speed of the planets belts you can only image jupiter for a short period otherwise i assume that you will get some sort of image shift or blurriness to the image right?

now given this, what speed do the various moons travel in relation to the cloud belts on jupiter? is it faster? does this show in images? if so are images that combine both jupiter and its moons showing a true representation of how large the moons are?
er... getting my drift? kinda having troubles explaining whats in my head...

this was bought up by a friend of mine who i showed some pics to. he asked "gee are the moons really that big?"

yours eternally in craziness
