Spring Jupiter with Ganymede and Io

I didn't think i'd make this the high clouds were hanging around and just when I thought i'd not get it the sun set the clouds parted and the view was spectacular. My friend and I were waiting to shoot this with the big ole boi (30" DOB) and boy O BOY did we have a blast. Had to be quick on this one cause the moon was sliding fast behind Jupiter. Took 10 shots each 60 seconds long. Histogram was near 55% to not blow the moon exposures. Derotated and finished the product in Photoshop after proper wavelets added. Photoshop additions consisted of Camera Map tool using all data and extracting as much fine detail as possible. Where I knew noise wasn't going to be present as much a slight brush over for sharpness was added and then a dehaze with contrasting a bit less. Added slight saturation and Voila. Hope you enjoy!

Camera used was Uranus C (M soon). Jupiter was nearly 80 degrees up for this image - so very thin air to shoot through and it was very calm. Seeing was very good as well.

Bonus features will include Io, and Ganymede's prominent blacks and white terrains. There's a small hint of green tan in that moon somewhere in there LOL! The Great Red Spot is much more red than the belts and we have a very nice red hybrid oval storm up at the northern polar region.

Cheers my friends!
