JUPITER AND EUROPA

[long_arms]

Hi all,

Last night I thought I would capture a few shots of Europa's transit across Jupiter.

At the time, I thought the seeing was pretty poor and my images were not that great so I came inside for a bit, hence the massive jump in the GIF file (boy do I regret that now! :/)

Anyway here's a couple of images I've ended up with along with a GIF animation of the transit.

All taken with my skywatcher 200p and the 2x barlow it came with.

Click on the final image for the animation, if it doesn't work then watch it here: http://s1336.beta.photobucket.com/user/DannyRobb/media/jupitergif.gif.html

Thanks and all suggestions for improvement welcome!!

Nice one I only just caught the end of the transit myself.

Thanks Yeh I completely lost track of time! The scope dewed (and partly frosted) up very quickly last night so I'm just glad I got what I did.
