A Jupiter Gallery--December 5, 2012
Jupiter is just a day or two past opposition and the closest it will be to earth in 27 years. This gallery of images was taken with an ETX 125 and Microsoft LifeCam. Images were stacked and processed in Registax 6 with some minor tweaks in Windows. Thanks to Joe Rome of QCUIAG for color balancing the first image--I will try to do as good a job with the other at some point!
The last image is overexposed to show 3 of the Galilean Moons. Above Jupiter in the image is Callisto. Below the planet is the fainter Ganymede and to the left is Io. Europa is further out, beyond Io as is outside the field of this image.
