About this image

Two IR images at different image scales and taken in daylight as the Sun didn't set until several minutes after the second image. Seeing was good and enabled me to correct the undersampling in my imgages in recent weeks by using a 1.3 Barlow to get an image at f/20 rather than f/15. Europa can be seen transiting Jupiter's disc.
