Description

Observed and imaged Ganymede's transit of Jupiter on the night of May 20-21, 2018. Seeing varied from poor to average. Not my cleanest images, but an interesting event to observe and fun to capture.

This animated GIF was generated using a sequence of 19 images of Jupiter and Ganymede starting at 03:30 and ending around 04:20 UTC on May 21, 2018. Each image is a stack of the best 25% of typically 8000-9000 frames captured over 60 seconds. I ran an imaging capture run every ~2-3 minutes.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, custom Siebert 2x barlow, ZWO ADC, and ZWO ASI224MC. Image capture using Firecapture. Stacking in AutoStakkert3. Wavelet sharpening in Registax. The animation was generated using the free online animation tool at: http://gifmaker.me/.
