About this image

I was set up ready to try for the night side of Venus the following morning and it occurred to me that it would be interesting to see how Jupiter looks at between 1000 nm and 1027 nm. At the time Io had just transited and Ganymede wasn't far away. Conveniently the GRS was also in view. Very similar to imaging the methane band but of course picking up heat features that transmit at this bandwidth.
