Description

Always fun to catch a shadow transit on Jupiter!
We've got Io in this timelapse, with the Great Red Spot disappearing in the first few frames as the planet rotates.
I forgot to flip these images over, so it appears to be going the wrong direction -- whoops! I'll get this process down eventually...
Also pictured is Callisto, another of the four Galilean moons.

This timelapse covers the span of about 50 minutes in 5-minute intervals.

The seeing started out relatively poor, and improved over the course of the imaging session, before I returned the scope to its regular deep-sky imaging program for the night.
