Hi all,
Just processed this quickly, it shows Ganymede's shadow transiting the planet Jupiter. Also Ganymede is just finishing a transit. Quite spectacular. I was able to use my newly installed motorised focuser to get pretty good focus at 360x mag. (4mm through an 8" f7.1) Awesome size of the planet in the eyepiece.
Anyway here it is.
about 1100 frames stacked with registax, using a Sony tr317e analogue video camera. Note I didn't take out the crap frames.
