Description

Finally, I have opened a new Jovian season, which is escpecially promising because of the numerous mutual events expected in the Jovian system (this happens only once in 6 years!).

To begin with, I would like to present the animation showing the Ganymede occultation and its subsequent eclipse with the Jovian shadow.

The timelapse is made of 27 images, prepared from videos taken from 2:49 untill 3:34 UT with a red CCD filter. The time delay between frames is 2 min, with the exception of the occultation event (frames #5-16), which was slowed down twice (1 min interval).
