I took 5 images from the earlier session and made an animation. Not only is Ganymede making a transit, Europa is at its max elongation and making a direction change from our perspective. Callisto is emerging from Jupiter's shadow. Widefield Animation of Jupiter and Moons You can visit Astrobin for the GIF. Thanks. Paul BTW: does anyone think the faint object moving between Io and Europa is anything other than an artifact? Starry Night did not show a smaller moon in that position. And it seems to follow an orbital path...not of a Jovian moon though...more like a comet. But, I don't think it is a comet. Weird? Edited by ToxMan (12/16/12 11:29 AM) Post Extras:       Jason H.

I have had some hot pixels showing up, especially at higher gain settings. The artifact is noticeable in red channel.

And here is a link to an animation I made using 20 images from the 13th, sorry it gets twitchy in the middle but I had a 16 minute break that broke my stride... http://www.flickr.com/photos/62745990@N05/ Clear Skies, Brian Edited by BKBrown (12/16/12 03:27 PM) Post Extras:       Mert Post Laureate Reged: 08/31/05 Loc: Spain, Pamplona Re: Small bore challenge: Jupiter w/ 6" or less [Re: BKBrown]       #5574360 - 12/16/12 03:37 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   These two images taken with your TAK140 are most impacting!

Thanks Darryl! Did you ever get a chance to image with your 5"? Just curious Clear Skies, Brian My "Jupiter campaign" was just too demanding with only one scope unfortunately Brian.....and I'm still processing stuff from them 5 days after we got back - hope to post a compilation of all the good images/animations in a few days but for sure I'll do some 5" imaging on Saturn, the season of which starts very soon down here..!

I have had some hot pixels showing up, especially at higher gain settings. The artifact is noticeable in red channel. Paul Hi Paul, I used to crop the hot pixel trails out when possible so that I didn't have to push the black down too much or copy paste unnatural blocks of space that can be seen because their noise/gradients don't match, but I really like a bigger outer space as a backdrop, so I finally recently started using the clone tool with a small draw tip sampling the very nearby background space, which will pretty much match any background gradient, for very natural erasing of hot pixel trails no matter how long they are. If you or anyone have any questions about that, you can PM me. Jason W.
