Jupiter after Opposition


Probably my clearest image of Jupiter
taken through my 127mm Meade refractor
using my QHY5v Planetary Camera

It was a really clear night and according to my astro software the Great Red Spot was passing across Jupiter's disc so an evening's planetary viewing was on the cards.  I  used my planetary video camera for imaging Jupiter's disc and then my Canon 600d DSLR to capture the four Galilean Moons which had conveniently aligned  two on either side of Jupiter. The following day I constructed the composite image below.
