Thumbs up Jupiter + Ganymede Animation - 12th May 2009

On the morning of the 12th May, I had some very good seeing - the best I’ve had all year, and I was able to record some images of Jupiter and Ganymede in very good conditions, allowing surface details (albedo features) to be seen on Ganymede - one of the Galilean Moons of Jupiter, 750 million kilometres away!

I’ve created an animation of the best frames from the morning session - click the link below to view the animated gif.

The best or most interesting frames from the session are attached.

Thanks for looking.
