Comment on Callisto by Alpha-Element
I love you, er, your work. It coincides with my passion and some of my studies. Despite some minor, nitpicky inaccuracies (e.g. dynamic range, but it looks better with the stars and rings) you've really captured the Jovian system well. Images like these would make great promotional work to show people the beauty of the solar system, and relatively accurately.
I guess the textures you used are photo realistic because Callisto is in pretty low resolution. Speaking of it, ESA's JUICE mission will fly by Callisto many times and go into orbit around Ganymede, obtaining plenty of striking photos with its narrow and wide angle cameras. Unfortunately, I highly doubt humans would visit Callisto any time soon (2040s), even Mars is probably further off than the 2030s.

thanks, glad you like it!
and yes, all of the textures i use when creating images of solar system objects are photo realistic, so alot of the larger objects in the images would appear with low resolution. the only objects with high resolution images seem to be earth, the moon and mars. most likely due to the close proximity of these worlds.
