4hr Jupiter Timelapse (.gif)

I had been anticipating Jupiter's opposition this year in order to achieve some kind of time lapse, but the weather was against me until early May. Under the light of a near-full Moon I still managed to get some imaging done in the only clear night of Spring.

.Gif consists of 116 frames, each captures using a 60-second video at ~28fps and about 70 Gain on Firecapture. A 60-second pause was added between each video capture as well, meaning I was able to capture about 4 hours of movement. A meridian flip 1.5 hours into capture did slow me down and cost me about 4 captures of data, which can be seen as the slight jerk of Jupiter tilting counter clockwise as the GRS slides into view. I played with it for quite a while in Photoshop but was unable to completely fix the rotation.

This was also a first experiment using Firecapture to simultaneously guide and image using a single camera. This is a feature that was unknown to me, but I was glad to have it. I still had to make some adjustments periodically, but for the most part the planet stayed pretty well in view.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
