Well, Jupiter's radius in ~70000km, Europa's orbit is ~670000, so Jupiter's angular diameter should be 2*arctan(7/67)=~12 degrees. It's hard to judge the angular diameter from a picture, since the FOV matters a lot, but I would say it's roughly accurate, maybe a little bigger than it should be.
EDIT: Although now that I'm looking at it, I realized the bands on the planet should be straight - the orbit of Gallilean moons have minimal inclination. Astronomy! :)

I do photograph the sky, since it accounts for the majority of scenery where I live. ;)
(Fairly old joke is that this is the only place where the scenery is lower.)
Binary Domain for me.
Thanks eh.

I checked out how big the moon is. 1/2 a degree. So 24 times larger than the moon. It'd be quite a sight.

I just gotta say this is great idea for a giveaway. Burning to take part, but don't have time to look to the virtual skies now. I hope you'll continue these. +1 in the meantime.
