Details:
On very rare occasions when Jupiters shadow is strongly offset, Ganymede can be seen passing in the shadow then comming out in the sunlight for a short duration before getting eclipsed by the planet.
Last year I missed such an occasion so I had planned this event for a long time.
It occured on the 25th of November shortly before midnight and the duration was about 40 minutes.
There will be another one on the 3rd of December but it will last only 15 minutes and Ganymede will not get completely illuminated at any time.
I took a sequence every 2.5 min and put together into a short animation.
The picture is a simulation from my astroprogram StarryNightPro+.
Telescope: OrionOptics CT-10, 250 mm Newton.
