Io transit animation, 28th August 2021

[lukebl]

Here's an animation of Io and its shadow transit from last night. The window of opportunity for viewing Jupiter from my obs  at the moment is very narrow due to various obstructions so this was all I could manage.

This is composed of 14 x 2000-frame videos captured every 5 minutes, starting at 23:10 BST. 200mm f/5 Newt, 3x Barlow, ZWO ASI120MC.  I've kept it small, so you can't see how bad the images really are!

That’s great   Love these transit animations- they make it all so much more 3D. And it confirms the cluster of 2 white storms i did see and 2 I sort of saw but couldn’t really confirm
