Hi everyone. Thanks for looking. This is my first post in quite a while but I finally got some good weather one a weekend and decided it was time to get the big scope out again.

Here's a 1h15m time lapse of the Ganymede transit of Jupiter from last night.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out, although I should have started a little earlier but I was distracted by Saturn (which I haven't imaged for years!). Bonus Saturn still, below

 

Thanks for looking and clear skies to you all.
