Jupiter and a double transit from Io and Ganymede


Kon

Recommended Posts

I captured my first Jupiter double transit this morning as I had seen in Stellarium that this will happen around 3-320am so I planned for this capture. Io is the closest moon on the picture and Ganymede further out. I quite like how irregular the Ganymede shadow looks (on the right). 8" Dob, manual tracking, asi462mc, 2x barlow, UV/IR cut filter. PIPP, Autostakkert and Registax.

Nice capture Kon. Yes Stellarium shows the shadow in the same oval shape. Noticed that quite quickly on screen. 

I think we shot our images fairly close in time as your capture also shows it as oval.
