About this image

The seeing was not good so took a wider angle image showing from left to right Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. Best 25% of 4595 frames stacked in Autostakkert and processed in PIPP, Registax and Faststone Image Viewer. Video processed for Jupiter and moons seperately and the two images composited together. North is at the top.
