Jupiter on May 27


Below is my first image of Jupiter this year. At the bottom near the pole is the shadow from Jupiter’s moon Callisto. Equipment used was an Mx+ mount, EdgeHD 1400, Zwo ADC set at 0 (ran out of time to adjust), and a Zwo ASI 462MC planetary camera. Shot through thin clouds, turbulence 4 of 10, temperature 50 deg F, and no wind. Stacked and aligned with AutoStackkert; wavelet sharpened with Registax6; resized 2X and denoised in Photoshop. Originally planned on doing Saturn as it was up higher but it was in a cloud bank from 4 onward.
