Jupiter – 2015-02-12, that great night
It was a great night. The best seeing and conditions I have ever recorded a planet, to date. And it was when Io cast its shadow onto Ganymede, making the moon go partially dark.

Jupiter-nostalgia, 2015-02-12
Perhaps the best seeing of my amateur astronomer life, Jupiter very high up on the sky, and Io eclipsing the Sun from Ganymede. With a … webcam, N 150/750 on an EQ3. Remember, jovial dance.
Jupiter’s family 2019-05-11
During this morning, Ganymede played hide and seek, emerging from Jupiter’s shadow, just to disappear again, behind Jupiter’s limb. I used my usual planetary setup, ASI 224MC, TS Optics ADC, Barlow, N 250/1200, HEQ5 installed in my balconic-balcanic improvised observatory. The seeing was, this time, good to very good, with Saturn’s Cassini gap visible on the live view images, and Jupiter GRS also obvious on the live view. It’s mostly not the case, I must add. The moons are Io, Ganymede and Europa. Ganymede was part of the original recording (it was in the ROI selected for the planet), while Io and Europa are composited onto the image.
A Jovial Family – 2019-04-23
With my big gun I observed Jupiter and its four big moons in a very pleasant position. From left to right we see Io, Ganymede, Callisto, Ganymede’s shadow and Europa. The only thing missing from this great vista is the Great Red Spot, as it is frequently missing when it should not.

Jupiter’s family – 2019-04-07
At 02:35UTC I imaged the giant and its moons with the fairly new N 250/1200, TS Optics ADC and ASI 224MC.

Jupiter with E, I and G
Using my standard planetary setup, the 150/750 tube, an ADC and the ASI224MC, I imaged Jupiter. (tovább…)

Jupiter is very low on the ecliptic and very far fr
om opposition. This make the giant planet I was able to successfully image before (like this, in 2015, around Gemini-Cancer-Leo), a very difficult target for the beginning of this year’s season.
