Jupiter + Moons 01/10/08

[rawhead]

A glimpse of clear sky had me setup quick sharp last night.

I actually got rained on for the first time. The fastest I’ve ever packed away. :shock: The wind was blowing the scope all over the shop making things tricky.

The moons were close so I managed to get them all in the X2 Barlow.

Two AVIs

Moons 18 frames from 160 taken at 19:40

Planet 46 frames from 276 taken at 19:42

From left to right: Io, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto.

Cheers

Well done Jon, nicely caught. I was in the process of setting up, just aligning and the clouds moved in.
