Ganymede Transits Jupiter
During the night of the 8th and 9th December Ganymede transited the planet Jupiter, currently residing in Taurus and very bright!
This image was captured during the early hours of the 9th with a red filter and shows the moon in the latter stages of the transit. Seeing was poor at the start of the event but improved enough to get this image.
Ganymede's inky black shadow is trailing the moon as Jupiter was just past opposition.
There is some nice detail on Ganymede itself which I was happy to get.
Imaged with my Celestron C11 and ZWO 290MM camera equipped with Baader RGB filters.
Thanks for looking!
