Intentionally over-exposed Venus and Jupiter conjunction just so that I could capture 4 Jupiter Moons as well!
The dance of the Galilean moons is a constant ( and free) source of entertainment. Here the performers are Ganymede, Europa and Jupiter.
Images captured March 23, 2015.
For the stack still images see the Solar System Images album this collection.
It was a long shot, but I gave it a go tonight. Getting a pic or two of Venus, and Jupiter with it's three innermost moons......(left to right) Io, Ganymede and Callisto.
Jupiter and the four Galilean moons in two images. Image 1 of 2.
Note time stamps, image one , although captured 12 minutes later on 03/23/15, was placed first in this stream to facilitate sense of left to right viewing. Note change in relative positions of Ganymede and Europa over that 12 minute interval.
Including the Galileann moons, Jupiter is presently known to have more than 60 moons in total.
Captured with 9.25"sct, Moonlite focuser, ZwoASI120mc.
On January 21st, 2013 the waxing gibous moon, and Jupiter were remarkably close in the sky and almost touching with the naked eye. I shot several shots of the event with my Canon 100mm L with my Tenko 2x teleconverter on my 60D. I composited the best images and superimposed a higher resolution Jupiter onto my shot (since Jupiter had no detail in my shots). I did however capture Jupiters moons which is a really exciting first for me!
This picture shows Jupiter with three of its moons, all on same side.
I wanted to take a picture of Jupiter at full zoom to find out whether the camera could get any detail of the planet. It couldn't but it was able to capture these moons of Jupiter.
I decided to share it with you even though it is not a great picture, but I was amazed by it.
Jupiter (with 2 moons visible) and Venus shot through a very thin layer of clouds with f 8 4 sek, 150 mm (cropped a bit), ISO 3200 at Kongsgårdmoen (Kongsberg, Norway).
Canon 550D, Sigma 150-500mm.

Cropped from one of the shots that I took of this mornings Venus-Jupiter conjunction. I overexposed Venus and Jupiter to search for the Galilean moons amongst the morning twilight. All 4 can be seen here; Ganymede and Io are below Jupiter with Europa and Callisto above (bottom left to top right order).

A rare sight.Triple eclipsing shadows on Jupiter's disc occurred 01/23 - 24/2015. From left to right, Europa's shadow entering disc, shadow of Callisto moving from COG and Io's shadow leaving disc. An image sequence follows next this album.
Weather abruptly cleared and a bit of a rush job to set up grab and go 80mm refractor and Nikon for afocal shots. Not the best.
Image with Orion ED80t, at resolution limt and afocal Nikon Coolpix 995. Registak of 40 still frames.
Annotated sequence of images spanning four hours during back to back transits of Callisto, Io and Europa which occurred on January 23 thru early 24, 2015.
Image just preceding in this album stream is a still from this sequence.
In this image, Io has recently emerged from behind this Titan of gas. Callisto is moving away from Jupiter having just completed a transit over the planets disc.
Image post stacking and sharp in Registax6. Final image after finishing with Deconvolution and colour balance follows next this album. Addition of Moonlite focuser and gain setback made a significant improvement in capture quality.
Imaged with 9.25"SCT, Moonlite focuser, Meade flip mirror and ZWO ASI120mc.

Image captured with 9.25'sct, Moonlite focuser, ZWOASI120mc.
Seeing as good as it gets for my location.
Short clip demonstrating orbits of Jupiter's moons Io and Callisto.
Watching the movement of the Galilean moons is an endless source of entertainment, even in small aperture telescopes.

Después de varios intentos con el Sigma 70-300 (recorte) es mi primera fotografía de Jupiter , donde se puede apreciar "algo" las lunas. 300mm , Iso 6400 ( D90) , a f 4,5 y a 1/125 de velocidad.
The closest of Jupiter's moons, Io is the most volcanic object in the solar system. The garvitational pull of Jupiter combined with a regular counter-pull by its sizeable sister moons, squeezes Io, heating its interior and forcing lava to the surface in eruptions from more than 400 active volcanoes.

Depois de um bom tempo sem postar uma planetária que eu gostasse, me acertando com a asi290mc, aí está uma, em foco primário. Também é possível ver três das luas de Júpiter, Io, Calisto e Europa.
After some time without posting any planetary captures, there is one in primary focus. I'm still learning to deal with the Asi290mc.

Jovian Moons!
And these same moons resolved in the same spots in several shots, so they're for real. If it weren't for the slight bore of the results, it makes me want to rent the 70-200 f/2.8 — or 200 f/2.0 — and take Jupiter shots. Maybe I'll wait for the D800 first, though.

Note: 'Galileo Galilei discovered Europa on Jan. 8, 1610. The surface of Europa is frozen, covered with a layer of ice, leading scientists to believe there is a very active ocean beneath the surface. The icy surface also makes the moon one of the most reflective in the solar system. Experts also think there is an ocean deep beneath the surface of the moon, and that it is possible this ocean contains some form of life. The possibility that there is extraterrestrial life on Europa has sparked the imaginations of many, and is one of the reasons interest in Europa remains high.' (www.space.com)
