I too was out under the stars imaging Jupiter.  I will most likely stay with the effort until I am able to produce an image I am proud of.


Jim, very nice work.  I am looking for a powered filter wheel to add to my imaging kit and considering a color camera to use with Astro-IIDC.


All comments and recommendations will be greatly appriciated.

Last night the seeing was very nearly perfect and I was able to capture the dual transit of Ganymede & Europa from 11 PM until 2 AM by taking an image every 20 minutes. Jupiter shows lots of good detail at I suspect the limit of my 8 inch aperture and its 30 degree altitude and even Ganymede is visible as it travels across the disc of Jupiter.

I am now officially retired from imaging Jupiter for 2009.
