For your photo entries, please provide a description that includes:
Your First and Last Name;
Date of photo (can include the time);
Description (title) of the image;
Relevant photo information (exposure length and equipment used).

This is important! If you don't supply ALL information, we won't be able to use your photograph!!!!

Please note: due to copyright issues, all photos MUST be original (If they aren't then you will be banned from this section of the forum!).

To facilitate the judging we respectfully ask that you not enter comments in the photo thread. You will find a commentary thread for the Planetary photo entries. Thanks and good luck!

Io and GRS transit on the limb

C11 with the ToUcam, images processed in RegiStax3 and PixInsight (images were reduced in size considerably due to poor conditions), animations created using K3CCD Tools 2 and Advanced GIF Animator.

Takes about 30 seconds or so for the frames to download before the animation starts.

Jupiter on a less-than-ideal night

May 3rd, 2005 10:30pm JST
C11 + 3x barlow, ToUcam Pro 840, 900 frames stacked.
Seeing was pretty unstable, blurring the silhouette of Ganymede against the planet so Ganymede was covered over in the post processing in this image.
