Description

For northern latitudes Jupiter still is a difficult object to observe because it is very low above the horizon. I decided to use the TAK FS 102 for this image because it is less sensitive on seeing effects. Compared to earlier images the face of Jupiter has changed dramatically. The SEB and the GRS are very faint. The bluish dot in the upper right corner of the image is identified as Jupiter's icy moon Europa.Takahashi FS-102N at f/24 (3x TeleVue Barlow), ToUCam Pro webcam + Baader IR/UV cutting filter. 557/2400 frames were selected and stacked in Registax, final processing with IRIS and Photoshop.
