Low Altitude Jupiter, Europa, and Io
All:
Seeing was good Tuesday PM/Wednesday AM, so I spent some time with the Mewlon and Skynyx camera. I caught a few sequences of the planet and a couple of its moons just before, and right after midnight. The following is a composite of Jupiter and its moons Europa and Io (in order from left to right). The planet was at 31 degree altitude when these exposures were made. The photo is shown here at 80% of capture size. Robert www.galacticphotography.com

Wow, great results for 31 degrees. For that matter, it is a great result period!

Appreciate the comments. I actually spent some time photographing the moons, and while some detail did show up on both Io and Ganymede, they're so tiny, that I don't think I'll post them. Maybe a a "best of the Jovian moons" composite in August or September.

Excellent job capturing Jupiter at such a low altitude.
