At the same date Jupiter is still lower in the sky, but with good seeing a fine visual impression:
Io as disk to the left, many bandings, ovals and other details on the surface.
C11 at f/20 with webcam, see selected raw image and reduced size raw video file on top.
Bottom: 80 selected frames out of 350 processed in Astrostack, unsharp mask, levels and color balance.

The double transit of Io and Europa motivated me to try an animation of this transit (3 hours of imaging)
The imaging session was a little disturbed by unsteady seeing and thin high clouds that made exposure adjustments necessary for some shots.
C11 at f/20 with webcam, 40 videos with each 100-150 frames have been processed in Astrostack, unsharp mask, levels and color balance for each, stacking in ImageReady, animation reduced to 75% size.
Best single video gave result at bottom, it shows a comparison of the result I got by Astrostack and Registax processing |
