Summer is the beat time to enjoy observation and imaging of the gaseous giants; Jupiter and Saturn. Every summer we spend countless of hours in observation watching them slowly changing orientation. In the case of Jupiter, an observation every an hour interval would clearly show the change in orientation of the planet itself and the four easily visible Galilean Moons!

Each of the gaseous giants was captured separately in a series of SER videos of about 3,000 frames, captured through Sharpcap.
Each video was stacked in ASi3 and edited separately. We wanted to show both planets in a single frame, therefore we merged both final frames into a single image.
