Description

Observed and imaged Jupiter on June 27, 2019. Imaging was at F/10 due to average (at best) seeing conditions. I was fortunate to capture Io going into eclipse behind Jupiter and the Great Red Spot just emerging during the imaging session. I compiled 8 images into an animation showing the progression.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut/Baader IR 685 nm Pass filters, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/10. Image capture using Sharpcap with gain set at 300 and exposure of ~3 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 25% of ~25,000 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. Derotated images in WinJUPOS. Animated gif created using Gifmaker.me.
