Ganymede Transit

[Virgoman]

Hi all,

Just attaching a very quick basic process of the stunning transit of Ganymede. Absolutely fascinating to watch the moon`s shadow followed by the tiny globe crossing Jupiter. This is the first transit I have witnessed and I was hooked. The view through the eyepiece was wonderful with numerous bands and fine structure easily visible on Jupiter`s disc. I tried to capture as best I could with the Toucam. Thanks for looking!

Best regards,

Ralph

That is a great image. Amazing what can be done with the toucam. I was going to sell mine but I think I might change my mind!

Many thanks, Ant, for your kind comment. Yes, the little toucam has served me well for many years and I am amazed also as to what can be extracted from it. Image is just a result of registax processing - nothing further has been done. Was very pleased to have captured Ganymede`s disc also. Transit was so fascinating I felt the need to try and capture it!

Best Regards,

Ralph

Just tweaked colour saturation slightly. Have a few more to process.
