Jupiter transition with Ganymede

[Kon]

I was out observing the Jupiter Ganymede transition which was an amazing moment for me. I managed a 2min video with my Dob and eyepiece projection. I love the little Ganymede shadow coming through and the GRS is pipping through. This is with my 8" Dob, 2x barlow ES 82 degrees 6.7mm EP and a Nikon D3200. Resolution is not great with my setup but excited to have captured the moment.

Well done on capturing this, nice image. I did wonder if anyone had managed to image it.

I set up early in the hope of at least seeing the double transit of Europa & Ganymede, unfortunately the clouds had other ideas!  It did clear later but too late for the transits.

Looks wonderful. 

This was my first transition I've witnessed and was very exciting to see. I had to check Stellarium to make sure it wasn't just wishful thinking!

Yes it was my first transition as well. I posted a report in the Observing Planets section. It was great seeing the shadow.

If I mind?......That looks amazing! Thank you very much for taking the time to do it!! Very briefly, what did you do to it? I struggled to get anything better with stretching (I think i did all channels together).

Glad you found it a improvement Kon. From memory i took the image to registax. on there is RGB align you have to make the blue and red move either up or down,  think i did blue up 3

red down 3.  I pressed auto RGB balance on registax

Or the exact opposite. one of the two ?  I did a gaussian blur on the edge. To help remove ringing. some colour noise reduction on image analyzer. Deconvolution. again on analyzer. Some light levels adjustment. The most important being RGB align though.

Congrats on imaging the transit, Kon. It's exciting to see moon and shadow transits, and even more exciting to catch them in an image! Nice work @neil phillips on the post-processing, Neil  

Cheers, Reggie🚀

Nice transit capture Kon, great to see the dynamic nature of the solar system before our eyes!
