which moons did I shoot?

[Jupiterholic]

I managed to get an early evening shot of Jupiter last night when the GRS finally decided to show its face at a reasonable hour and decided to do a wider field shot. This is the result. Does anyone know which moons I got in this shot?

I'd estimated its, from left to right: Europa, Io and Ganymede. But I'm not sure.

Hi, if you have stellarium you can check on there, if not then tell us the time and date taken and we can look for you.

Head over to Jupiter's Moons, put in the date and time of the image and you'll get the details.

or you can head over to my club's website Castle Point Astronomy Club and follow the link to The Planets and download a free app which will show the positions of Jupiter's moons at any time (and the same for Saturn).

Thanks Dave, grabbed that one myself

[Dave Smith]

No problem. I should have mentioned that it shows the position of Saturn's rings as well.
