| Nope, these were taken with the Canon A2000is. I used ISO 800 (1600 on some) and delayed shutter for 3.2 seconds (some 4s) in manual mode and on a tripod.... 2 comments |

On August 16th, Philippine astrophotographer Christopher Go used a modern 11-inch Celestron telescope to photograph Io casting its shadow on Ganymede.
|
|
From spaceweather.com:
In the movie, Io and Ganymede reveal themselves as fully-formed worlds with surface markings and a spherical shape. Io's circular shadow cuts a dark swath across Ganymede, transforming that giant moon (it is larger than Mercury) into a succession of crescents rarely seen by observers. Indeed, as far as we know, no telescope on Earth or space has ever photographed one of Jupiter's moons casting its circular shadow so clearly across another.
