Details:
Jupiter is now at prime viewing as it nears opposition on the 20th August, I captured these images of Jupiter with its four largest moons all on display on the one side of the planet…I also wanted to include a picture of the other side of Jupiter with its GRS, but so far the weather’s been very cloudy… .So as we near Jupiter’s opposition I do hope some clear nights come my way to capture Mighty Jupiter at its brightest and largest ☺
I took these images with a Meade 10 inch LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a ZWO 120 MC-S camera with a 3x Barlow lens. AVI movie files were captured with 3000 frames and stacked in RegiStax6 and processed in PS CS4.
In the second image I’ve marked the Galilean moons. This image is a composite, as I had to over expose Jupiter to capture the fainter moons. A wide-angle lens was attached to the ZWO camera to give a wider field to capture all the moons on show.
