Thumbs up Jupiter + Callisto transit (3 hour rotation animation) - 31st May

Hi all

Finally got around to processing all of the data from last Saturday morning, 30th May UT. Seeing was variable (mostly just above average) but for about 30 minutes it really steadied and I was able to capture probably my best image for the year so far.

Callisto is shown transiting across the face of Jupiter - it's very very dark!

Captured with 12" newt, DMK21AU04. Processed in Registax v5 (beta).

An 18-frame animation covering over 3 hours of rotation can be downloaded here (2.5 meg gif)

4 frames from the animation are attached.

Thanks for looking.
