Thumbs up Jupiter animation - old data first seen

Hi guys

Jupiter Animation with Ganymede's shadow

This animation is from Jupiter data captured back on the 22nd July 2007, in very good seeing. At the time, I only presented the best image from the sequence. Now, finally, I've taken the time to animate the rest of the data from the session.

The seeing started off average, but improved as the night went on and as Jupiter rose higher - until when I stopped imaging, it was very good. Looking back now, I keep wondering why I stopped imaging at that time.. there must've been a good reason

Taken with the 12" newt on EQ6, with DMK21AF04, 5x powermate + Astronomik RGB filters. Each colour channel was recorded for 45 seconds @ 30fps, and the best 500 frames were stacked.

Jupiter was 43" in diameter, and the shadow transit is of Ganymede's shadow, which was out to the left, off frame. I did capture Ganymede separately, and attached below is the image of Ganymede.

The animation is of 8 frames, in a sweep animation, and is a 1 meg animated gif.

Thanks for looking. It was great to go down memory lane when Jupiter was up high and large!

Great work Mike. Amazing that the moons don't get sucked into Jupiter with all that attraction.

Great animation of Jupiter Mike, The image of Ganymede is awesome, I can remember back when capturing an image like that was in the realms of the space probes only.

Cheers
