Description

Animation of Jupiter Oct 14, 2022 (2022-10-15-0604.8-0712.3 UTC).  The GRS and Io are shown in this animation.  Captured with a C8, TeleVue PowerMate 2.5x and a ZWO ASI224MC planetary camera from the Visitor Information Station on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.  43 5,000 frame captures with a 30 second interval.  Stacked in AutoStakkert!3 and sharpened in RegiStax6 with no further processing.  The animation was created using PIPP.

Seeing was 4/5, transparency was 9/10.  Elevation of the Visitor Information Station is 9,200'. 

I had to stop imaging just as Io was about to begin its transit across Jupiter as my laptop battery was giving out.
