Description

This is a time lapse video of the planet Jupiter with its moon Io and shadow plus the Great Red Spot shot on November 12, 2023 between 04:55 and 08:45 UT (3 hours 50 minutes). It was taken through a Stellarvue SVX180T telescope with 3X Barlow and a ZWO ASI678MC camera. 195 videos of 60 seconds each were captured with FireCapture using a gain of 250 and an exposure of 12 milliseconds. AutoStakkert was used to stack the best 80% of the frames of each video and WaveSharp was used for color balance and to apply wavelets for sharpening. Topaz Denoise was used for additional sharpening and noise reduction. Finally, WaveSharp was used to produce the animated GIF video file. Taken from my backyard in the New Mexico Astronomy Village near Deming, New Mexico.
