Jupiter animation (rotation and Europa eclipse)
Jupiter animation (rotation and Europa eclipse)
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. A better version of both videos can be found in my website: [url=https://gulinux.net/blog/2022-10-10-jupiter-animation-with-europa-eclipse]gulinux.net[/url]

Another attempt at Mars, as it's getting far away from us, and visibly smaller. Images taken with my SkyMax 180 and ASI178MM with RGB filters.

Finally got a decent night for imaging Jupiter and Saturn, very low here in the UK (just around 15 degrees above the horizon). Seeing was terrible, but I'm still relatively satisfied with the results, given how difficult these planets are this year from this latitude. Visible Jupiter moons: Ganymede (left) and Io (right).

Just a quick snap done with a small 60mm telescope and my Canon EOS 80D during April's 2020 conjunction between the bright planet and the Pleiades.

Probably my last shot of Saturn for this year, already very low above London sky. This is my first attempt at colour images using a RGB filters set. Seeing mediocre/low.

Mars, first 2016 shot
Mars, first 2016 shot
First shot of Mars, close to 2016 opposition. Mediocre seeing, I used infrared pass filter instead of the usual IR blocking, to enhance details and block out most of the atmospheric turbulence. I also used an extender with my 2.5 barlow to increase focal length up to over 7000mm.

While targeting Mars, I was also able to try a few shots on Jupiter. Seeing wasn't too good, so the image resolution is not great, but the Great Red Spot is clearly visible, as well as Europa just passing in front of Jupiter's disk.

Jupiter shot from home, average/bad seeing conditions (but luckly not so bad), quite low on the horizon (less than 20°). Infrared filter to block most of the atmospheric turbulence.
