Ahhh.... I feel better after getting a Jupiter fix! its been quite some time since there was an image posted...
Great shot, there is quite a lot of nice detail in there... Good capture of the moons too...
My question is along the same lines as Mike's, but How did you not only get the same rotation, but also the same image scale? I would have thought the two cameras would be on different focal planes.
The trick with the two cameras is a flip mirror. It reverses one image in the vertical plane, but this is fixed in processing. The rotation is close, I set that up in the flip mirror when I'm positioning the target. Also the colour doesn't have to overlay exactly as the detail in the image is in the luminance. Image scale is governed by the distance from the Telextender to chip, which is the same to achieve focus, and the pixel size, which is also the same. The telextender is on the front of the flip mirror BTW.

Ahhh, the old "flip mirror twin camera setup for luminance and RGB imaging" trick. Nice one chief!
As for the other stuff.......ummm....good me think Jupiter looks......pretty!
