I tried looking it up in the July issue of S & T and wasn't 100% sure if it was Ganymede. In all I saw all 4 moons. 3 were on the same side (right side) of Jupiter as the one in the picture. The 4th moon was on the other (left) side and was farther away than the 3 moons on the right. If you have a good resource for this I would appropriate the link. I do have the 2020 Observers Guide (from Canada) which I haven't checked.

Thanks!

Stellarium will sort you out. Just put the correct date and time in. And then zoom in on Jupiter. The moons will be displayed.

Hi Greg. A very nice Jupiter image. Good planet color, equatorial belting, some festoons, the GRS, and Ganymede. Thanks for sharing this fine capture Greg, and keep up the good work.

I'll be darned! Stellarium did sort it out. I took the image at 1:20am the morning of July 5th. It was the moon Io and not Ganymede, as Io was closest to Jupiter at that time. This Stellarium image shows exactly what I saw.
