Description

Imaged Jupiter on the night of October 8, 2022 (August 9th in UTC) under average seeing and transparency.  This was my first Jupiter imaging session of the 2022 opposition apparition.  I was fortunate to catch Europa and its shadow transiting Jupiter during this session.  This image features Ganymede to the left of Jupiter, Europa to its right with Europa's shadow right at the edge of Jupiter's disk.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 375 and an exposure of 3 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 20% of ~7500 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6.

Original version:  OSC RGB image shot using the ASI224MC
