Description

till plowing through July's data. Here is Jupiter in the early morning of July 19, 2022. Its moon Io is seen approaching to make its transit across the face of the planet while its shadow elongates as it prepares to leave on the opposite of the disk. I picked up a lot more detail in the southern part of the planet than ususal--seeing was very good for this one.
C11 XLT and ASI 224 MC, Best 10,000 frames stacked from a single ser video of 3 minutes.
