Description

Observed and imaged Jupiter and Saturn on the night of July 15, 2020. Conditions were great this evening with clear skies, average to above average seeing, and good transparency. I got lucky this night with good conditions, the GRS visible, and Io and Europa close to Jupiter during the imaging session, so I made a few captures including the moons with Jupiter.

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 275 and an exposure of 9 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 25% of ~25,000 frames captured over 180 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6.
