This timelapse has the moon "Io" on the far right, Ganymede transiting in front of Jupiter itself, and a faint Callisto on the left.
This is about 1 hour 20 minutes of imaging data of Jupiter using an Alt-Azimuth mount, which means field rotation is a problem. I had to manually de-rotate each frame (21 total) to stabilize the image.
I used my new ZWO ASI290 color camerawith a 2x Barlow lens mounted on my homemade 6" f/7.5 telescope and filmed Jupiter drifting in the field of view. I filmed two videos every 3 or 4 minutes, and later processed each pair of videos to get a separate frame for the animation.
