Elara (J7) & Pasiphae (J8)

[theodog (Jeff)]

Hi All,
Last for this series.

Elara (J7) Mag 16.8, 38km diameter.

Pasiphae (J8) Mag 16.9, 25km dia..

I have imaged and presented all of the Jovian moons my gear can reach.
My software indicates that the others are beyond my gear with this technique.

*J5 - I cant find a reference to it. When I do -I'll do it to.

Remarkable images Jeff and quite fascinating to view.

Thanks for sharing them.

That's awesome. I was wondering if anyone could capture any of Jupiter's smaller moons. Now I know! I like how you put them in motion so they are easier to pick out.

How dark are your skies? It seems like solar system bodies cut through light pollution better than stars of the same magnitude. Have you noticed anything like that? I'm interested in these smaller objects too but 5050 Ralph is the dimmest thing I have looked found so far...

Excellent work Theo, much better registration on these! Well done.

Top imaging Jeff.

There are some other blinking objects in the frames. I guess when you get down to those magnitudes, there are numerous objects on the move, eg. asteroids.

Well done.

That is awesome Jeff, very well done.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the positive comments throughout this minor project.

The skies here are quite dark. Our nearest town is 5miles away and Siding Spring Obs about 25 miles.

5051 Ralph at around 15th mag is not a bad effort. Keep at it.

Not being one to brag, but, I don't know -We don't have any light pollution.

Thanks for the series Jeff, it has been very fascinating and enlightening!
