Jupiter and the Galilean Moons
This image shows the planet Jupiter and all 4 of the Galilean Moons in high-resolution.
The moons, from left to right, are:
Europa, Callisto, Ganymede and Io
The image was taken with my 12” Newtonian Telescope and a DMK21AU04 webcam from my backyard on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia.

Thanks very much for your comments.
Yes – it’s a monochrome camera (DMK21AU04), and I use Astronomik RGB filters.
