Sundays Triple Transit + Io Photobomb

Hi Guys! I’m still very new to planetary imaging but couldn’t resist having a go at Jupiter during the triple transit. Conditions were up and down but honestly so are my processing skills!! When I get the time I’ll put together an animation that will be a bit more forgiving of the blurry images- but in the meantime I’ll post a couple of images I got so far.

1) Triple Transit. From left: Europa, Europa Shadow + Ganymede, Ganymede Shadow, Callisto, and Io coming round behind the other way just before entering into Jupiters shadow.

2) Callisto and shadow transiting.

Overall I really loved the experience and was able to get some fleeting views with the binos that were truely stunning as well. And I’m glad I wasn’t the only one trying to make Jupiter sit still on the screen!
