Description

I've crafted something truly special for you all—an animation showcasing the spin of Jupiter.  Over two clear nights on November 2nd and 3rd, I dedicated my telescope to capturing the grandeur of Jupiter. The result is a special15-second animation that compresses almost 10 hours of Jupiter's real-time rotation. As you watch this rotation, you are witnessing a full Jovian day. From the iconic Great Red Spot whirling in its atmospheric ballet to the subtle interplay of its cloud stripes—each frame is a testament to the vibrant dynamics of this gas giant.

Gear Used for This Celestial Time-Lapse:
• Telescope: Sky-Watcher 150PDS
• Mount: Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro
• Camera: SvBony SV705c
