Title: Jupiter Animation by My Girlfriend.
Post by: Daniel on Oct 10, 2009, 14:33:34
Hi All, just thought I'd post this animation my girlfriend mde of Jupiter last week, been telling her she should post it as it's pretty good, this was taken on the 120ED over about an hour and a half, you can see the image dimming as it sinks lower and lower on the horizon.

Anyway, here it is!

Great animation, but why she didn't want to post it, is beyond me, as this is excellent, and with a moon as well.
Tell her to keep up the good work. Love short animations like this.  ;)

What night was it taken, do you know which Jovian satellite she has captured? I guess it may be IO

Thanks guy's, She was quite shy of posting her stuff but after your kind words she's just upped the animation to the UKAI board now.

The images were taken over about an hour and a half on the DMK21AU camera on 26/09/09, 1000 frames every 2 minutes from about half past ten onwards.

Excellent!!

The detail on each frame is really good and to see the moon movment as well really adds to it.

I've been meaning to do this for some time but never quite got around to it.
