I have added an animated GIF sequence showing 12 frames of the plane transit. I have to admit that I did get some help from Adobe and Photoshop guru Russell Preston Brown with this. He made a tutorial featuring it which can be viewed here if you wish: http://youtu.be/fQzp-fEeqY0

Congratulations, on your APOD.

You've got one now, the rest will follow easily.

Have to say Greg, that's a rather incredible Anthony Wesley, well done on having the skill and patience...the luck creates itself then.


"Doing an Anthony Wesley" deff: If you do something well regularly enough and the gods just smile on you briefly, then you are bound to capture something rare.

...although two impacts on Jupiter will be very hard to beat, probably about as hard as any test cricketer ever surpassing Don Bradmans batting stats!
