Jupiter

Ir-RGB image of Jupiter. Probably my best so far.

Seeing was very decent for the low altitude (22 degrees)

Jupiter + Moons

The animation you see here consists of 42 frames, each stacks of 1500 frames in Infrared light.
Io is hiding behind Jupiter, Ganymede is the one on the left, and Europa the one on the right. The black dot is the shadow of Europa.

Altitude between 18-23 degrees.

Jupiter

Jupiter in infrared and blue light.

Probably my best so far. Seeing was pretty good (considering the altitude of 22 degres), but I only had a 10 minute window to shoot the images, because clouds blocked my view.

The shadow of Io can also be seen on the planet; it's the pitch black spot at the center of Jupiter. Io itself is just slightly right of that (pinkish color)

Jupiter, with impact mark

My first image of the impact mark on Jupiter. Seeing was terrible, but at least it is visible (at the top of the image, near the south pole of Jupiter)
