6th July Jupiter + Io animation

[rick01]

Hello, all!

After dwo days and 60 GB data of processing I finally finished this animation :screwy:.
When I start to capture, Jupiter was only 11° above horizon. So, the seeing was only poor to average, but still good enought to capture some details on Jupiter and also Io and his shadow.

The animation has about 2,8MB, so i can´t attach the image. Here is the link:

Hello, Roman

That is a very impressive animation considering that Jupiter is relatively low for you Northern Hemisphere observers. You have managed to record a lot of very nice detail despite commencing at 11 degrees. The lighter coloured disc of Io and its associated shadow really make the animation quite dynamic – well done for a quality piece of work under difficult conditions.

Cheers

Dennis.

Yes, I agree, well done Roman :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks for comments! I looking forward to next year, when Jupiter raise over 40deg above horizon :).
