Let me throw down the gauntlet....
How about capturing some detail on one of the moons?


Frank, it's possible to capture detail on Ganymede and Io, but the others are a bit harder - have a look at the June images :-)

cheers, Bird

Here's a montage showing Jupiter earlier when Io was just finishing transit.

Thats easily recognized as Io given the appearance of the other moon.
Have you captured disks of the other moons, were you able to get the disk of Titan ??

Dave, I haven't tried for titan. I'd doubt that you can get a recognisable disk, but I guess I should check it's size and see how it compares to Io...

Once the size gets below about 1" then you're going to just get an airy disk and not the real thing so it would be a bit misleading :-)

How much of a size difference would Io undergo?
