About this image

On 15th December, set-up and waiting for Mars to gain altitude, I thought that I might as well take a couple of movies of Jupiter. It was only 18:20, but Jupiter was approaching the meridian. Long past opposition and shrinking in apparent size, but the scope wasn't doing anything else, so why not. Mars the main act, followed later and I processed the mars images the next day. A few days later, I checked out the after-thought movies of Jupiter and produced this image, of Jupiter and Ganymede. The seeing was good and the image of Jupiter and Ganymede was better quality than the images of Mars that I captured later. That's astronomy.
