This night we stayed at Ekerö to prepare ourself for the mercury transit the day after. We saw that Jupiter was shining bright in the sky and thus decided to go for it. This is our first own colour picture of the planets ever using a color filter wheel! IO is visible to the left and Europa to the right of Jupiter.
