Jupiter & Callisto

The seeing was pretty good, not perfect, but that is to be expected.

More images will follow (in the form of an animation I hope)

Jupiter and Io

In daylight again, first time imaging at F/32.

The moon passing in front of Jupiter is Io. The black dot is the elongated shadow of the moon.

Jupiter and Io

Ir-RGB image of Jupiter in daylight. Jupiter was at 30 degrees altitude and the sun at 5 degrees altitude.

The seeing was pretty good in infrared, but RGB stayed behind on the details.

And an animation in infrared light:

Jupiter in daylight

Daylight imaging of Jupiter is possible, but especially the green and blue channels have really low contrast. For this image I used infrared + red as luminance.

A couple of minutes later (05:05UT):



And an animation in infrared (06:09 - 06:43 UTC)

Jupiter and Ganymede

Jupiter with Ganymede and its shadow.

At the top right edge you can also see the GRS.

Seeing was reasonable, but definately not great for the 21 degree altitude of Jupiter.

Jupiter

Ir-RGB image of Jupiter. Probably my best so far.

Seeing was very decent for the low altitude (22 degrees)

Jupiter + Moons

The animation you see here consists of 42 frames, each stacks of 1500 frames in Infrared light.
Io is hiding behind Jupiter, Ganymede is the one on the left, and Europa the one on the right. The black dot is the shadow of Europa.

Altitude between 18-23 degrees.

22:15 UTC to 00:48 UTC
