Smaller Joop + 2 moons - 11/02/2006

Hi.

I took this image on Saturday morning with the 3x barlow, as the transparency was so bad I couldn't get the 5x to come to focus.

Jupiter was about 65-70° altitude when it was captured, and you can see the difference when you need to align the RGB channels - there is very little shift required when the planet is captured at high altitudes.

Not the greatest images, but got 2 moons and the GRS.. Only had a small number of frames to work with and clouds kept passing over, making the change in brightness difficult to work with.

Anyway here it is.
