Jupiter, Io (small yellowish spot pointed by arrow) and its shadow: an animation of pictures taken during approximately one hour near local midnight (EEST UT+3).

Kyiv (Osokorky district)

Setup: SkyWatcher 15075 OTAW + NPZ x3 Barlow + Canon EOS 600D.
Processing: PIPP, AS3!, Registax6, VirtualDub.

2017-03-28 ~23:50 - 2017-03-29 ~0:50 UT+3


One frame from the animation with somewhat better resolution:

Barlow lens introduces chromatic aberration so colors of the image are somewhat distorted. Probably I will replace Barlow in the future.
