This is a cross-eye 3D rendition of the data captured on 2020-09-10 at around 19:07Z, both frames a stack of 90 seconds, with only two seconds apart. HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, automated filter wheel, Baader IR-pass 650 filter, ASI 462MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher The frames are arranged so that Io does indeed look to be closer to the viewer.
Frames of 1:28 with 2 seconds gap, 2020-08-09-1919Z — 2020-08-09-2111Z. HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher

Jupiter, Saturn: balcony-observatory, HEQ5, soapbox, N250/1200, ADC, ASI 224MC c
This is another image I processed from the set acquired a month ago. The bad weather that’s likely coming and the planets season ending, and some unwanted free time, I am going through my database for images to process.
Luckily — no luck actually, damn hard work — my gear HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher is so automated that all I have to do is flip some switches and turn the tube towards the target. The rest can be done even from the bed.

It wasn’t a surprise that I caught Jupiter, for I was cooling the telescope for quite a while before sunset, but it was a nice surprise to see Europa’s shadow departing — reminding me of the good old times of this year’s Jupiter season when the planet was visible for several hours (though still as low as it can get, above the city’s turbulent air).
