GIF - Jupiter, Io occultation and WCP transit - 1/08/2020

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

With my 6" catadioptric Macsutow I will not match the great masters of planetary photography, including my friends: Niall and Patrick, but I wanted to show that in my "weight category" I am also trying to achieve something.

Jupiter 1/2 August 2020 from 21.29 to 00.36 (intervals of about 9-15 minutes) with good seeing (sometimes seeing was very good). The session lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes. I was very determined.

Such a night doesn't happen often - I don't remember when it was more beautiful. Jupiter ignited the senses with the rich ornamentation of turbulences in the atmosphere, amazed and delighted. His moon Io sprinted towards the edge and disappeared literally a minute after the recorded avik at 23.01. Majestically, the Great Red Spot emerged from around the eastern edge at 22.26 and, in increasingly better conditions, marched into the center of the planet's face. I only visually watched the organization of the sky in the south, but the arrangement of the Moon with Jupiter above it and Saturn on the left, brought to mind the movement of a bouncer in a chess game - someone joked about placing the figures in this way.

MAK 150/1800, ASI290MM, Baader IR-pass 685nm, EQ-ATM, FireCapture2.6, Autostakkert!3 (400/4000), Registax6, Easy GIF Animator, Drizzle 120%.

GIF with intervals of 0.25 seconds from 17 videos (from the fifth in seeing order it improved to good and very good during avik recording at 22.38; 23.11; 00.12 and 00.23). Halfway through the animation, the moon of Io disappears hidden behind the planet's disc and from the fifth frame the WCP begins to appear.

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.
