Jupiter, Big Full Moon, Saturn 18th Feb UT

Hi All,

Jupiter, the Full Moon, and a sequence of Saturn last night.

Jupiter was 20 deg above the horizon and seeing was extremely poor, however I thought the action around the Great Red Spot was worth it. I know that Europa was transitting but I don't think any of the dark spots are shadows. I've shown the original stacked image and then 3 differently processed images.

The Moon was about 357,000km away last night, 1 day before perigee. It fills completely my DSLR field of view! Shown with colour saturation boosted. Single frame taken at midnight.

I shot Saturn between 11:30pm and 1am and was lucky to capture the complete transit of the "Dark Spot".

Thanks for looking,

Tom
