Transit of Europa. Image Credit: David Billington
David Billington captured this image of the transit of Jupiter’s moon Europa, 10:20PM on November 4, 2011 at St. Agnes, Cornwall, UK.
Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Together with Io, Ganymede, and Callisto, Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei in January 1610.
David used a US Orion 12inch Dobsonian telescope, Watch House Equatorial Platform and Phillips SPC 880 webcam. The image was processed with Registax5.
