Jupiter with animated moons, 25 May

[Tulloch]

Hi there, I captured Jupiter a few mornings ago, and was lucky enough to get Ganymede emerging from Jupiter's shadow as it approached the planet. Seeing was variable as you can probably tell from the animation, but cleared up just in time.

One of these images is an animated gif, hopefully it comes across ok. Unfortunately file size restrictions mean it's smaller than I hoped.

Images taken with Celestron Evolution C9.25 with TV 2.5x PowerMate, ASI224MC, 3 minute videos with various settings depending upon seeing, stacked in AS!3, sharpened in Registax, finished in Photoshop, animated gif create using PIPP.

Very nice and sharp. Moons everywhere, shadow, red spot right in the middle! What sort of mount do you use?

[Tulloch]

Thanks all, it came out pretty well I think :)



It's a Celestron Evolution (https://www.celestron.com/products/nexstar-evolution-6-telescope) mount, with a 9.25" SCT installed on the lightweight tripod. Seems to hold it OK, just not as stable as it possibly could be.

Thanks all, as I may have mentioned before, I normally post on the CN website, but sometimes I add some of the better ones on IIS.
