Jupiter and Ganymede 4th February

About this image

Taken in trying circumstances! Earlier attempts between clouds when Ganymede's shadow was in transit were badly affected by buffeting wind and constant cloud interruptions, not to mention every jet in sight from Heathrow being routed past Jupiter from my angle! Later on the skies cleared for a brief period and I was able to capture this usable image of Jupiter and Ganymede wth the wind slightly less gusting but still causing alignment issues.
