Hi All,
Finally broken the Mag 20 barrier.
Leda Mag 20.1 or 20.2 depending on source.
This is a 5 or 8km lump of something orbiting around Jupiter.

12" AO7&ST7e
3x10min exp -darks, processed in Maxim, animation in Jasc.

Hats off to you Jeff, that is impressive imaging which ever way you look at it.

It's even more amazing when you take it size into account.

Top stuff

That is awesome Jeff, congrats. That tiny lump of rock sure is dim at 20th mag and you have capture it extremely well.

I can just see it against the background stars.

Very well done.

Congratulations on breaking the 20th mag barrier! Nice capture

That is impressive, nice. It looks like you may have a couple other solar system objects captured too. Especially one near the bottom. Well done.

There is definately something center bottom moving. Wonder what it is?

Sorry,
Its a single hot pixel. In the .tiff process they blur a little.
As the frames are aligned the pixel seems to move in the animation. My focus can't image anything to within one pixel and its apparent motion and position angle are wrong. Astrometrica found nothing.

Hey, I do appreciate you guys looking so closely.
