Here, as mentioned in the Neptune thread, is a link to an article about the PALM-3000 system working with the 5m Hale Telescope. The attached photo of Ganymede is one of the best ground-based images I've ever seen, and easily blows away HST resolution.

Totally off topic, but look what happens when you view maps upside down.
Mike Seibert just tweeted this: Mike Seibert @mikeseibert · 16 hours ago Opportunity drove 10.7m to the north of Pompys Tower mound on Sol 4559 But he meant to say 'south' Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
