[AZ-Observing] Jupiter Moon day by day Pictures for education purpose ?

Hi,

I have a friend, teaching in High School in France, seeking pretty 
images of Jupiter and its Moons.

The point is to have a few images taken in sequence (say, within one 
week), so the kids can reconstruct the moons orbits (especially the semi 
major axis), and derive Jupiter's mass using the 3rd Kepler law (it's 
part of the physics class program), the famous a^3/T^2 = GM/4pi^2 or 
something like that.

Would any of you have such pictures (and willing to have them xeroxed 
over and over), or suggest a web site ?

Thanks

Herve
