Europa transiting Jupiter
Clearing skies during the evening of the 24th September allowed me to image the latter stages of Europa's transit of Jupiter.
The volcanic satellite Io can be seen to the left of the planet on its way to pass behind Jupiter. Europa and its attending shadow are moving towards Jupiter's preceding limb (left). North is down in this image. The Great Red Spot is also crossing Jupiter's globe.
The seeing was probably the best I have had for this apparition but it deteriorated rapidly as I was ending my session.
This image is the result of three RGB filter runs, stacked using Autostakkert 3 and derotated using Winjupos.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera with Baader RGB filters.
Thanks for looking!
