Transit of Io, Gif 6

[astroavani]

Jupiter Gif 6
Io transit on March, 02-2017 from 07:00 to 08:14 UT.
Many visible details, 50 movies capturing 10,000 frames per movie and piling up 3,500 frames. Stacking and sharpening only in AS! 2, a slight adjustment in the hystogran, contrast and brightness of Registax. Gif made in PIPP.
One can notice details inside the GNV, well defined Oval BA as well as numerous other smaller ovals.
Setup used: Celestron C8 + ASI 224 + PM 2X + L filter Astronomik.
Location: Quintão Beach, Palmares do Sul, Brazil.
An exhausting work but that after ready gives us much pleasure.

That is so cool! I could not do this no matter how hard I try.

[Charic]

The detail is impressive as is the scale, reminds me of my visual, only I don't recall seeing Io, just the shadow?

[Knighty2112]

Brilliant! It is almost 3D to my eyes! Well done!  

[Hawksmoor]

Superb! 

regards George

[Craney]

Tour de Force.......well done.

Looks like Io is a relatively small distance away from the cloud tops.

[David Smith]

That is superb, well done!

Very nice animation.

Quite wonderful Avani. I love the way the shadow changes shape as it progresses acros the disk, and the albedo features on Io which seem more apparent just before the end.

An interesting collation of Daryl (Kokatha man) on this Gif:
Very nice Avani!
 
Your animation displays the contrast effect where Io's darker poles are revealed as it moves across the planet - when it has the brighter background of the planet (as opposed to the black sky) those dark poles are best revealed. Wink.gif
 
You can see this effect for Ganymede along with the explanation & graphic illustration about halfway down this page on my website here:

When the Galilean Moons are in front of the bright background of the planet this enhancement can be quite noticeable ... the "still" image here probably a complement to the animation:

Really must update the site! Lol

You surely hold the title of Master of Animation in my book Avani.
Come live in the UK, they will make you a Knight of The Realm for this superb work.
On second thoughts, coming here would scupper your chances of producing the same quality you can achieve at home.
So, please, stay in Brazil and keep posting these goodies for us to enjoy .

Fantastic animation, it has an amazing 3D look to it.

Avani,

I bet you can come up with an excellent shot using cheapish supermarket telescope.

Very good for an 8" scope

[orion25]

Totally three-dimensional! Stunning detail and great animation!
