Jupiter Io and Callisto



Io transits the face of Jupiter, Callisto centre right


Using the camera I fashioned from an old and no longer used webcam, I captured video streams of the planet Jupiter through my Meade 127mm refracting telescope. I then used Registax and Photoshop software  to manipulate and stack the data to create these two images. The night of the 14th.of January was particularly clear and really cold.  I guess I'm becoming a fair weather astronomer!
