oldfruit Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) It has been a really difficult night with cloud constantly coming and going, plus the seeing has been down right rubbish to there being the odd moments of great clarity. This is the best so far of many captures tonight and when i get time to process them i hope to add more. Equipment, 8 inch newt, spc900, approx 1200 frames of 1800, used registax 6 to process. Also thanks to Stephen (Kheldar) for pointing out my error at originally identifying the moon as Io. Edited November 29, 2012 by oldfruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Like it Mark. Decided to load up the spc and have a go at Jup myself. If it comes out anywhere near as good as this I will be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 This was taken just after Europa had crossed the disc of Jupiter. I captured some avis of the transit and hope to get time to process them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyboy1970 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Bit confused, when was your image captured, date and time? According to my moon calculator Europa was going behind Jupiter on the night of the 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This image was captured last night, Europa passed in front of Jupiter and this image was taken after the transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Good link Andy - I've used 12Dstring in the past for fov calculation - but didn't realise there was other stuff there - nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 I use this site - http://www.12dstring...jovianmoons.htm Good link, i mostly use stellarium. Whilst it is not 100% accurate it does give a good idea of present and future transits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
