Duncan that is fantastic. Wow !!!! That has given me a kick up the back side to get learning.  Any idea what causes the dip in luminosity in io a few frames in?

MarkS

Fantastic animation!  Good detail and colour.  The red spot and a moon!  Really well done!

Thin clouds, also the first couple of frames.

BTW it's composed of 25 frames from 60s captures at 10fps with 1min intervals keeping 40% of the best frames. The animation shows how fast Jupiter is rotating! The elapsed time is around 1h15m. Next step is to master WinJUPOS derotation :}

Excellent effort, I think we need another imaging session on your planetary workflow before you escape to France permanently!

Crikey Duncan, that really is a superb effort and there is just so much detail.  That has to be your best to date.

That ADC is certainly doing the business.

I'd agree with that, have you got a stacked "still", there must be more detail than in your previous images.

Glad you said where you took it since you are in two places these days lol.

Fantastic animation, Duncan. Well done. I only wish ........

A single image made from the 50% best frames on 60s capture @10fps. There is even colour and possibly features on Io, I didn't think this was possible with my scope.


RobertM

That's about a hundred times better than my best effort :(
