Transit Io and Europa

Transit Io and Europa.
Animated gif showing the transit of Io and Europa on the night of December 16, 2014 between 06:04 UT at 06:45 UT.
Mounting made from 15 shots with a mean interval of 3 minutes and with each film lasting 90 seconds.
Setup used for filming: C14 Edge + Qhy 5L + 2X Powermate + IR Pass Filter 685 nm
Processing done in AS! 2, Registax 6, Photofiltre, Fitswork and Irfan
This is a time-consuming work but fully justified by the result.
Despite the defects in balancing the brightness and quality between a movie and another due to variations of seeing, pleased me a lot because I'm still a simple apprentice in this great art that is astrophotography!

Nice work there. Animations do take their time but can be worth the effort as this is.

Really the work is great! There were 4 to 5 hours to obtain an acceptable processing GIF. Too bad the free programs for creating GIF greatly limit the possibilities.

A new version of Io's transit and Europe using another GIF creation program and clearing a bit more picture!

[Pete Presland]
