Europa occulting Ganymede, 8th May

Here's an animation of Europa occulting Ganymede on the morning of May 9 (May 8 18:02 UTC or thereabouts).

The seeing was not very good, and so I was only able to use 250/1200 raw frames for each final frame in the animation. You can see that the seeing improves a lot toward the end of the sequence.

Capture details:
Astrodon I-Series filter (Red)
PGR Dragonfly2 camera @ 38 fps
TV 5x powermate @ 7.7x on LEXX
Images resampled to 300% before processing

Each animation frame is approx 31 seconds of raw data (1200 raw frames) and the best 250 as chosen by ninox were stacked and processed in registax.

cheers, Bird
