Description

Just on sunset I had really excellent seeing and made this capture of Jupiter in NIR (642nm BP). This image was derived from 9 runs of 60 secs duration, which were derotated and integrated with WinJUPOS. Io can be seen transiting the planet while Europe which has already transited and is moving away leaves its shadow on the giant planet. The GRS can be seen on the limb rotating out of view.

This is probably my best capture with this filter.
