Jupiter and Io animation (GRS transit – 63 frames)

I noticed that the GRS was predicted to transit the earthward-looking face of Jupiter on 9th April 2016 with Jupiter at a reasonable altitude. I captured the 1st avi (of 63) at approx. 7:19pm and the final one at 10:19pm with Jupiter having transited at 9:41pm AEST (UT+10).

I used the Mewlon 180 with a Tak x1.6 Extender and the ASI224MC CMOS camera from ZWO.

It took me while to punch the 63 avi’s through AutoStakkert2! And Registax6 before importing the output into CS6 to generate the .mp4 movie.

I have attached a mid-session frame from one of the avi’s when the seeing was at its best.

The following Jupiter / Io animation is a 600 KB animation (.mp4) which opens in Windows Media Player 12 when I click the link. You can right-click and save the file to avoid it opening in-session.
