Hi Alberto;
Thanks for the clarification on what "Not True Color" means.
I don't think it really matters what you call it, and I am not even sure it's necessary to mention it. Had that phrase not been embedded the movie, I would never have asked about it :)
When I shoot LRGB images like my M52, I'm basically doing the same thing, I'm colorizing the Luma image with R, G, B frames.
TTYL..

Thank you Alan and Milton.
True...the color are not ..true.
Since the focus of the animation was the eclipse and not the planet/moons themselves I added the colors in post production only for presentation purposes.
The whole animation is BW (infrared) but i added a defocused color jupiter map over the planet applying the "color" ink (photoshop like).
The same way on the 2 moons i added "their" color in order to distinguish them.
I noticed that it is a normal procedure for the Sun.
Question: If this "artistic" manipulation could be misinterpreted should i explain it better or should i skip it?
I liked the idea to add a touch of color to that grey world...
Sorry for the inconvenience but i thought that mentioning "color not true" was enough.
Should I write "colorized"?
Suggestions are well accepted.
