Jupiter full rotation animation Feb 26th/March 4th

[Space Cowboy]

Taken in 2 sessions on Feb 26th & March 4th a total of 80 images encompassing the full rotation of Jupiter. Unfortunately some long cloud interruptions spoiled the 2nd half causing 1 hour breaks and the seeing at times was very poor.

You're certainly putting the processing hours in Stuart, and to very good effect to!

That's a wonderful animation and some very good images in the sequence. :-)

A great animation & like Jake says lots of nice images in the sequence too, great work Stuart!

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks Jake & Simon! Its always been an ambition to capture a full rotation which was my motivation to keep plugging away despite the mushy seeing in places.

[Olorin]

fantastic stuff, well worth the effort

[Pete Presland]

Excellent animation, well worth all the effort!

[Stargazer33]

Great dedication and a wonderful achievement from the UK. Well done Stuart.

The detail of the transiting moon and its shadow as it passes the limb and swings behind the planet is awesome.

Well done!

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks Pete! Can't grumble about the seeing too much I guess...just getting several hours of clear sky in the UK is hard enough and the chances of having 10 hours of good seeing is as remote as the England Cricket & Football teams winning world cups symultaniously!

Cheers Joves! I cropped the majority of moon activity out from the 26th as the field rotation correction has left a wobble on the planet which is bearable but causes the moons to bounce which is a shame so I cut them out.
