Description

This was my best image from my attempt to photograph last week's triple shadow event. A cloud front moved in shortly after this image was taken and then passed about 15 minutes later. Although the skies then seemed clear to the naked eye, all of my images after the front had passed were blurry. Next time, I will make it a point to recheck focus during longer planetary sessions.

T2i Movie Crop Mode settings: 1/60 sec exposure, 800 ISO. Stack of 1350 frames (best 50% out of 2700)

Thanks for looking!

Version B: North is up. Io's shadow is to the east (left) of Callisto's and is beginning to catch up with Callisto's.
