Jupiter Shadow transit animation fail 8-04-15

[MikeD]

Hi all,

The plan was to catch a transit shadow on the 8th but the seeing was not great and then it clouded over just before the shadow started its transit.

As The imaging run was a bust I never processed the data I did catch ( the lead in frames to the shadow transit).

Cloudy last night so processed it all anyway  and although the seeing gets progressively worse you can see The GRS and Europa( above and to the right of the GRS) transiting with Callisto on its approach. 

Shot eyepiece projection with 10mm EP and RGB filters

5 minutes between the start of the red data in each RGB set 50 second avi's per filter in each set

13 frame animation

The halo bottom left is I think is from focuser flop from my (then just fitted) low profile skywatcher focuser.

Not my best work but as I have processed it thought i might as well post it.

I think that is very good. What sort of

time frame, is that rotation over.

First AVi was taken at 21:21 and last at 22:48,  for a total of 52 AVi's, so Just under 1.5 hours.

90 minuits.Amazing.
