Image Details:

Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone.
The 18% illuminated Moon fits nicely between the Jupiter and Mars conjunction.
The planets are ¾° apart. The Moon is near apogee and just shy of ½°.
The Galilean Moons are not only aligned on the same side of Jupiter, they are in the correct order of distance from the planet! : Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
You can see that Callisto is the dimmest and Ganymede is the brightest of the 4 Moons.
