Jupiter shadow transit animation - 23rd November 2021

[lukebl]

In a very rare moment of clear skies and great seeing, I captured this animation of Io, its shadow, Ganymede and Callisto (visible very faintly below Io) this evening. Jupiter still has lots to offer!

Around 7000 frames captured every 4 minutes from around 16:18 UT to 18.10. Processed in Autostakkert and Registax. 200mm f/5 Newtonian, 3x TV Barlow, ZWO asi120mc-s cam. Painstakingly animated in Photoshop.

Very low in the sky here, but possibly the best seeing I've had all season.

That’s great. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. It was good seeing wasnt it.  Cant beat a newtonian. Excellent animation

Excellent, lovely animation and detail. Can you send some of that nice seeing down here. I imaged the moons as well this evening, see separate post, but the seeing was awful.
