About this image

Lysithea was predicted to be at magnitude 18.3 when imaged. The subs were stacked on its motion as predicted in the MPC ephemeris. The image shows a circular image of the satellite and stars which are trailed because of the -18.61 arcsec/hour mean motion in RA and -1.63 arcsec/hour in Dec.
