Description

This was my first ever Jupiter animation. Becuase Jupiter rotates so fast in only 10 hours I wanted to try to make an animation. I did my first good capture the night before, apparently under much better seeing conditions, and it turned out great. I applied my new knowledge to do this acquisition the next night. Unfortunately the seeing wasn't as good. BUT the animation still turned out pretty awesome. It took me 4 hours taking an image every 10 minutes for 2 minutes. Then all the post processing on each of 21 frames. Man a lot of work, but very rewarding! I'm looking forward to making another attempt after my observatory is done, probably next summer when Jupiter is up again.
