Description

Ganymede transits Jupiter about once a week (5 times this June!) but catching a transit of the solar systems most massive moon against its most massive planet is a treat I have experienced only a couple of times. This is an LRGB image Taken with an A/P 10 mak/cass, B&W firewire webcam and color filterwheel.
