Jupiter + Red Jr Animation - 26th May

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all

I finally got around to processing all the data from the 26th May session. I created this animation of 10 frames (and back) showing Red Jr (Oval BA) rising and just crossing the CM. It was from this same session I captured the detail on Ganymede and Io.

The quality improves as the altitude and seeing improve, and the last 2 frames are the best of the bunch.

The animation is a 1.5meg gif file and can be downloaded from:

--> Jupiter + Red Jr Animation <--

All frames prepared in Photoshop. Animation created using Jasc Animation Shop 3.

Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Excellent work, Mike!!!

At your insistence ( ) I am also working on an animation from the same night.

I'll try and have it ready by the weekend.

Again, very well done

Wow that's unreal. Love the colours and very natural looking texture in your images Mike. You are very slick with your processing.

Simply amazing Mike, at this rate you will soon have enough for a short movie of a few rotations.

Cheers

I can just see Mike some time in the future planning a trip to the Arctic to capture a 6 month long AVI of Jupiter and creating a movie of hundreds of rotations. He really would be the "IceMan"!

Fantastic job, Mike. I've just been rereading some back issues of (US) Sky and Telescope magazines and even a year or two ago, this level of detail would have been completely unthinkable with a 12" scope. The work you are doing is really leading edge.
