A bit fuzzy, but my first attempt at a colour image on the Virtual Telescope Bellatrix Observatory in Ceccano, FR, Italy.
27 July 2009, 22:50:55 - 22:59:54 UTC
RA 21:47:20.811 Dec -14:26:21.01
10 x 0.1 sec luminance (green)
5 x  0.1 sec red
5 x  0.1 sec green
5 x  0.1 sec blue



Visible, I think, are some dark patches on the southern hemisphere that are due to the recent impact by a comet or other icy body. Also visible in this image is the moon Io
