Jupiter and 3 of it's Galilean moons.
Europa closest to Jupiter, then followed outwards by Io and the solar systems largest moon Ganymede.
The seeing conditions were horrendous, I didn't think I'd get any usable frames.
I tried capturing the end of the Ganymede transit, but seeing didn't improve until after the transit was over.
Jupiter was magnitude -2.77 with angular diameter of 47.1".
Ganymede was magnitude 4.7 with angular diameter of 1.74"
The Great Red Spot has just rotated into view. Here I have used WinJUPOS software which re-aligns images precisely to account for the gas giant's rotation -- fast enough to smear details a bit even with just a few minutes of video.

My first attempt to take picture of Jupiter with Galilean Moons. I took only two pictures by Nikon Z 7 + Sigma 150-600 @ 600, f 6,3. First at Exp 1/10 s, ISO 1250 where are Galilean Moons good visible and Jupiter is overexposed, second at Exp. 1/20 s, ISO 400 where is Jupiter "correctly " exposed and Galilean Moons almost not visible. No mounting, only tripod. Blended and edited in Adobe PS. Cropped.
In the background is Jupiter Point in Torpoint Cornwall where new Naval recruits undergo part of their basic training at HMS Raleigh, Royal Navy recruits are given their first taste of life on the water, the recruits begin to experience the highs and lows of life on the waves on the River Lynher in Cornwall
In the foreground is HMS Brecon which is a Hunt-class mine countermeasures vessel that served with the Royal Navy in the mine warfare role and since 2008 is employed as a non-commissioned static training ship at HMS Raleigh and now used for the Naval Recruits training , Brecon is anchored there permanently

Early morning Jupiter hunt
Jupiter this morning between 05:52 and 06:40. The Great Red Spot (GRS) was watching us :) The GRS is so big that it could swallow our little lovely planet Earth.
Also how amazing the fast rotation of this planet. It completes one full rotation around its axis in less than 10 hours...
I took 7 videos which I have stacked and processed, then later made this animation from the 7 photos.
Equipment:
Skywatcher 127/1500 maksutov tube

This lighthouse was first lit in July 1860. In 1939 the US Navy established an intelligence listening post (Station "J") at the lighthouse and constructed the barracks building for naval personnel and their families. The secret installation was designed to intercept German U-boat radio messages, warn Allied ships and help US forces attack enemy vessels. All in all the men of station "J" were responsible for locating 60 plus German subs.

Aspen leaves shine bright while the planet Jupiter streaks across the night-time sky. With clear skies and a partial moon, I decided it was time to go for a unique approach with my first visit to the Maroon Bells - one capturing the streaking stars over the peaks. The amazing lighting and active wildlife made this an incredible experience - one I highly recommend.
This image comes from 15 - 3 minute exposures taken from Maroon Lake above the town of Aspen, Colorado.
Jupiter on Saturday morning in about the best seeing I've had this season, which isn't saying much! The moons to the lower right are Ganymede and Europa.
Picked up the 2X converter to try out on some moon captures in the future, some far to reach animals when traveling, and for the convergence of Jupiter and Saturn.
With a clear cold and windy night tried out the converter on my 300mm making it 600mm. The two planets now are on opposite ends of the full frame ... but within two weeks they should be a lot closer ... about 1/5th the moon diameter apparent as seen in the sky.
Tried some various shutter speeds and ISO combinations to see what worked well.
The capture here is a combination of two captures, one centered on Jupiter and the other on Saturn. Then I brought the two together in Photoshop. They should be a lot closer than this come 12/21/20. Hoping for some clear nights as they get closer.
Will practice some other settings and live view focusing as that time approaches to see if even crisper images of the planets can be taken with the 300/2X combination.
If you view large, you can see the rings on Saturn, and also you can see 4 of the larger moons around Jupiter.
This is the image taken for the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn

A cyclonic storm in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere is captured in this image from NASA’s Juno spacecaft. Many bright white cloud tops can be seen popping up in and around the arms of the rotating storm.
The color-enhanced image was taken at 9:25 a.m. PST (12:25 p.m. EST) on Feb. 12, 2019, as the spacecraft performed its 17th science flyby of Jupiter. At the time, Juno was about 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) from the planet's cloud tops, above approximately 44 degrees north latitude.

I recently learned that NASA's JunoCam images are freely available for download and processing (it is even encouraged to do so: www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing#Welcome). So I had a try at it and can highly recommend it: the sense of exploring space and planets "on your own" is both, an exhilarating and humbling experience.
The speckled object depicted here is Callisto, Jupiter’s second largest moon. This image was taken in May 2001 by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, which studied Jupiter and its moons from 1995 until 2003.
Similar in appearance to a golf ball, Callisto is covered almost uniformly with pockmarks and craters across its surface, evidence of relentless collisions. In fact, Callisto is the most heavily cratered object in the Solar System. The moon is made up of equal parts of rock and ice – the brighter parts of Callisto’s surface are thought to be mainly water ice, whereas the darker patches are regions of highly eroded and ice-poor rocky material.
Callisto is roughly the same size as the planet Mercury, but only about a third of the mass. It is the outermost of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites, a group consisting of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. It orbits relatively far away from Jupiter compared to these other satellites: it lies 1 880 000 km from the planet, roughly 26 times the radius of the planet itself. While this in itself is not unusual – our Moon orbits at some 60 times Earth’s radius – the important thing is Callisto’s isolation from its neighbouring moons. Callisto’s closest neighbour is Ganymede, which orbits 800 000 km closer to Jupiter.
This isolation means that Callisto does not experience any significant tidal forces from Jupiter that would tear at its structure. It also does not show any signs of geological processes such as volcanism or plate tectonics, which we clearly see on moons that are involved in violent cosmic tugs-of-war with Jupiter, such as Io, Europa and Ganymede. Callisto remains relatively intact and is a witness of the early Solar System: its surface is the oldest terrain, at a truly ancient four billion years.
This image is the only complete full-colour view of Callisto obtained by Galileo. The spacecraft provided us with a great deal of information about the jovian system: as well as sending the first probe into the atmosphere of Jupiter, and measuring Jupiter’s composition and dynamics, it observed Io’s volcanism, sent back data supporting the idea of a liquid ocean on Europa, and probed the properties of Ganymede and the subject of this image, Callisto. It also managed to observe the famous Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 colliding with Jupiter in 1994.
The jovian system will be visited again in the not-too-distant future. In 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter and start to beam back images of the planet’s poles. Later, ESA’s Juice, short for JUpiter ICy moons Explorer, planned for launch in 2022, will tour the system with the aim of making a breakthrough in our knowledge of the giant gaseous planet and its environs, especially the intriguing moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

So once again last night while still in my pajamas standing on my driveway I used my tripod this time and different camera settings to photograph Jupiter and 4 of its moons before it disappeared behind all the trees on my street. It left my mouth open (much like the front door of my house allowing passing mosquitoes to find refuge in a cool living room environment) Taken with my Canon R5 and 100-500 lens
This is what happens when you set your exposure for the stars and you point at Jupiter - mega lens flare!
North is up. This image is derived from a single RGB run captured in Firecapture, stacked in Autostakkert, wavelet sharpened in Registax, and color channel derotated in WINJUPOS.
Seeing was Average at capture. I had hoped to stack and sharpen in PSS, but the result was disappointing. I have four more RGB captures that can be derotated and added to this data. I feel like I am missing something with PSS, which is still new to me. I'll take a deeper dive when time permits.
My son and cousin sat on top of one of the many hills in Jupiter Artland, a finalist for Museum of the Year 2016.
This impressive, sculpted landscape greets you as you first enter the museum - it's a great place for kids (and adults) to explore!
