Title

Jupiter animation (rotation and Europa eclipse)

About this image

This sequence was shot over 3.5 hours to try and capture Jupiter's rotation as smoothly as possible.

Seeing was fairly bad, but that's quite standard around here.

I also changed the camera to the ASI183MM Pro, cooled down to -15 degrees to try and minimize noise.

You can also see an eclipse of the moon Europa: at the beginning of the animation it disappears behind the Gas Giant, suddenly reappearing at the end of the video after leaving the planet shadow.
