Exclamation My best Jupiter ever + animation!!

Hi all

I had an amazing morning on the 15th March (local time), with the seeing fairly consistent across the whole session at about 8.5/10. Io and it's shadow were in transit.

I captured 13 avi's over about 1.5 hours. 3 of the best images from the start, middle and end of the session are attached, and I also created an animation which you can download here (1.2meg gif):

Jupiter + Io Transit Animation

These are my best images of Jupiter ever, and I'm naturally very pleased with the result

Scope and camera: 12" newt on EQ6, DMK21AF04 + 5x powermate. Approx 450 frames from each channel were stacked. Processing in Registax, AstraImage and Photoshop.

Thanks for looking. Comments/questions are welcome.
