Albedo on Ganymede

About this image

I was testing my new C14 on Jupiter and its satellites and found during RGB imaging that the R channel was quite fine during this session though G and B were fairly average (the resulting colour images were acceptable but not top quality). Just focusing here on the R channel, I found that the albedo visible on Ganymede corresponds quite well to the simulation for the same time from WinJUPOS. Previously, using a C11, I have never convinced myself that I have produced anything other than artefacts on Jupiter's staellites but this seems promising.
