Europa reappearance from eclipse 07-09-21

A short gif of Europa reappearing from eclipse.
Images captured from 20:41ut to 20:46ut, but I think Europa had reached maximum brightness before the last capture.

After these captures Firecapture decided that it didn't recognise my camera, nor my ASI120mm and ASI120mc.  So after a few reboots and still no luck I called it a night. 

I tried again yesterday during daylight and all seems to be fine, but it was cloudy last night & rain most of the day today & this evening, so it is back to the waiting game again!

 

Celestron 8se, basic EQ5 mount with dual axis drives, ASI 224, ADC, IR742  & 2x barlow.

Great capture there Angie. I observed this visually, quite fun to watch. What surprises me most about your gif is how much the planet appears to rotate just in that short space of time, amazing.

Thanks Stu. In fact it was your heads-up that sent me out to image it, and with only a minute or so to spare!

I also caught the Io one a few days earlier, but seeing was so bad that I'm not sure that I can do anything with the data.

Very cool Angie. Havent seen a lot of eclipses over the years.  Something you could miss unless prepared of course. Nice catch.

Very nice catch, sods law with the cameras

Well done Angie nice work, i was hoping someone would catch it, moon eclipses are not that common, it was to early for me as its barely skipping the roof tops!

What a fantastic capture Angie. All your time and effort as certainly paid off. Hope the laptop starts behaving itself.

Thanks Neil! I remember the first time I saw one through my first scope, Tal-1.  I couldn't work out what had happened, thought that I must have imagined it,

until I looked at Skymap Pro.  After that I always checked to see what was going on.   Nowadays I rarely check anything!

Thank you Craig.  I should have just had an early night instead of trying to sort it out.

Thanks Simon. Yes, it was good to catch it, but if I hadn't seen Stu's heads-up I wouldn't have known about it.

Thanks Martyn.  It was a real rushed job but it came out fairly well!

Thanks for sharing your capture Angie. I also observed this visually, it was great to see it happen live! Thanks to @Stu for the heads up about it.
