Jupiter and the Galilean moons

Via Flickr:
Apart from a brief spell tonight (4 November) the 'seeing' for Jupiter has been fairly average but over the last three nights it has been possible to see all four Galilean moons on their way past Jupiter. The top image on November 2nd shows a faint Callisto top left and a bright Io lower right. Both were hard to process to a fit state to show due to poor 'seeing' conditions. In the middle is Ganymede passing behind on November 3rd and at the bottom you can see Europa to the left, its shadow in mid Jupiter and the Great Red Spot just disappearing to the right of Jupiter.
