Jupiter 08-07-2008 - Io transit, excellent seeing

I say excellent seeing because this was shot at 29 degrees. Have a few more sequences, should be about the same quality. I'll most likely only post the ones if they turn out better.

Same image as above, but scaled down 10% and sharpened up some. I had the histogram running at about 90% when I shot this. It seemed to give me the best result out of 5 sequences. So this is it for tonight.

I didn't realize it until I saw a set of images on the ALPO list from Larry Owens, but evidently I managed to catch Io itself during the transit over Jupiter.

Great image, and given the elevation amazing work. Well done!
