Description

I was able to image Io as it transited Jupiter early in the morning of Saturday, September 9, 2023, from the Onizuka Visitor Information Station (VIS) on Mauna Kea.  Io's shadow appeared on Jupiter near the Great Red Spot (GRS) around 2:44 am and exited just before 5:00am.  I made a sequence of 27 captures, each 3 minutes of video recording followed by a 2 minute delay.  I used a C8, ASI224MC camera and a Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate for the captures.

Processing was AutoStakkert!3 for stacking (best 2500 out of 17K frames per video), Registax6 for wavelet sharpening and PIPP for the animation.
