Description

Observed and imaged Jupiter and Saturn on the night of August 10-11, 2020. Sky conditions were very good (for my neck of the woods) with average to above average seeing and very good transparency. It was a great night for observing Jupiter with the GRS visible, Europa close to Jupiter, and Europas's shadow crossing Jupiter during the imaging session.

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 Firecapture with gain set at 300 and an exposure of 10 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 30% of ~18,000 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6.
