Hunting Almatea and Andrastea in the Jupiter lair

So lets start with "standard" Jupiter images. GRS is running away, but the orange oval tail is nicely visible. DMK21, SCT 8":

Now lets go to long exposures Jupiter has a lot of small moons and even rings. To capture those small moons orbiting Jupiter closer than Io longer exposures and good filter is needed. I used Pro Planet 742, which isn't the best thing for dimming the planet stronger than the moons - I will have methane and NIR filters probably next month, which should help.

Edit: dimmer moon is Thebe (mag 15.5) and the brighter one is Almathea (mag 13.9). Taken at 21:40 GMT/UTC.
