Jupiter & Transit

Here's a shot from this evening I ran through Registax since it clouded over unexpectedly. It shows Io's shadow transit, Callisto, Ganymede, and Io.

The seeing was 6/10 probably better than I have seen in NY in some time. 5.5" refractor, Phillips webcam, and registax. About 900 frames from 1200 I recall.

Clear skies,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, good job capturing this evenings grand gathering. I was observing Jupiter while you were imaging it. The view was spectacular, Ganymede and Callisto looked like a binary star about to collide into Jupiter's northeastern limb. It was truly a rare alignment. Thanks for posting, Dan

That's a nice shot. I always like catching a shadow transit.
