With as low as Jupiter is, it has been difficult. The other night during the Callisto transit I was running a 3 minute avi and during about half of it the atmosphere steadied. This is a stack of 250 frames shot with with a Celestron Neximage and a CPC 1100. Andreas Callisto is to they left, Io is on the left rim, and Europa is to the right. -------------------- DSOs Observed NGCs 1237, ICs 60, Other DSOs 62, Palomar GCs 5, Abell PNs 11 CPC 1100 Nexstar 8 Celestron 15x70 Skymasters 55mm TV Plossl, 35mm Panoptic 20mm Type 2, 16mm Type 5 11mm Type 6, 7mm Type 6 Post Extras:       iceman Post Laureate Reged: 03/07/04 Posts: 4331 Loc: Gosford, Australia Re: Another Callisto Transit from 8-21 [Re: Andreas]       #2599024 - 08/23/08 05:07 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   That's a really nice widefield shot!

Very nice catch on the Jovian system - given the altitude as an additional challenge! Your pic delivers strong 3-dimensional presence!
