Ganymede Transit of Jupiter62 viewssketch (rendered in Photoshop)
7/7/07 at 21:19 at Alpha Ridge Park
through Celestron C6-R, 15mm plossl eyepiece, 52 degree apparent field of view,
80x magnification.

Shadow faded in and out, as did two stars above and right of Jupiter. The four Galilean moons are labeled.

I saw four stripes, two prominent, and two subtle. Slight blue fringe around Jupiter.

Jupiter and four moons were yellow, and the stripes a reddish-brown.

Transit appeared to end around 10pm.
