Jupiter GRS transit 2 Jan 25

A timelapse of the Great Red Spot transiting the face of Jupiter, compressing 4 real hours down to 3 seconds. I deleted moments obscured by clouds, causing the appearance of accelerated movement during the first third of the transit. Ganymede (L) and Io move outwards.

Questar 3.5"/TV 5X PowerMate/QHY 5iii 178/ IR-cut filter/RST 135E mount. Captured with SharpCap; processed with AS4/AstroSurface/PixInsight and PIPP. From my yard in Westchester County, NY.
