Jupiter and the Galilean Moons by

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.

About Mike Salway

My name is Mike Salway and I’m an amateur astronomer and photographer.

I’m the co-founder of the Amateur Astronomy community site, IceInSpace, and my personal blog site and image gallery is at mikesalway.com.au

I love high resolution planetary imaging and deep-space imaging using a telescope, and I love capturing wide field vistas that involve a lovely foreground scene combined with astronomical interest in the sky.

    Very tasty Mike. Not often we get to see the Galilean moons as disks.
