    Jupiter Moon Transit

    Guys this one almost took me out.  I'm getting hand cramps from all the processing.  I got it though.  This one is almost at my BYSL  (back yard seeing limit).  The planet went from one side to the other and the video spans about 3.5 hours.  It was worth it though as you can see the lifeless moon float over the surface of Jupiter at 365 million miles away from Earth.  This one's 7 meg so modem users beware.  Clear Skyz, LA :)

     That is incredible! Never seen something like that.  Do you have any more videos?  Keep it up that is great.

    That's a great movie.  Thanks for sharing.  Is each frame stacked? Or do you do some extra processing?  You have great technique!
