Animated Jupiter, IO and Europa

This is my first attempt for an animated GIF file. Captured with a web can on 7/19/08 this image is 360 sec. 4-90 sec. subs back to back. On my next session, I will attempt twice as many subs with more time in between them. That should show excellent planet rotation.

Jupiter, IO & Europa

Here is a web cam image taken last night at 10:30 PM CDT. This was my first attempt to capture the planet and some of it's moons. Seeing and transparency was above average, so I pushed up the power to 100x per inch. The final image is 790 frames stacked and used PSE 2.0 for final processing. Europa is the moon on the lower left.
