Description

Observed and imaged Jupiter and Saturn on the night of August 10-11, 2020. Jupiter put on a great show with the GRS visible, Europa's shadow crossing near the GRS, and several moons visible in the frame of the 224MC at the same time. Someday I'd love to catch all four Jovian moons in the same frame with Jupiter (with my tiny planetary camera FOV that is!).

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Sharpcap with gain set at 300 and an exposure of 10 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 30% of ~5000 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6.
