Io and Europa animation, 15th January 2024

[lukebl]

Io and Europa were performing a nice little dance this evening as they almost simultaneously disappeared behind jupiter.

I braved the cold and captured this sequence of 21 x 45 second captures about every 3 minutes from 18:15.

250mm f/4.8 Newtonian, 5x Televue barlow, ZWO ASI120mc cam. c. 4000 frames each capture. Captured with Firecapture, processed with Autostakkert, Registax and Photoshop. Europa is the upper one.

Excellent animation and still frames of the occultations.
