Jupiter (GRS) & Callisto

Jupiter with its Great Red Spot transiting at 20:06 on 3rd January 2024

 

This was my second ever capture of a planet and I'm extremely happy with it. I'm really happy to have managed to capture the Great Red Spot transiting.

 

While this is a frequent occurrence, due to the speed that Jupiter rotates, the spot doesn't stay in view for very long.

 

Conditions in the UK are rarely ever good for planetary imaging, so I'm very surprised with my result here, especially considering I don't have a dedicated planetary setup.
