Description

Imaged the conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter on the morning of March 27, 2019.

I added an inset showing a close-up of Jupiter and it's moons from a separate series of exposures made with only Jupiter in the frame with a 2 sec exposure to include Jupiter's moons. Jupiter is blown out, but the moons show up ok. From the left to right are Callisto, Io, Europa on one side of Jupiter and Ganymede on the other side. Processed 10 images at ISO200, 2 sec exposure in PixInsight. Calibrated (using bias and flats), Aligned using StarRegistration script, Stacked, histogram and curves transformations, Color Saturation Adjustment.
