March 2003 - Jupiter's Moons -
Mutual events
Roughly every 6 years the orbits of the four bright moons are nearly edge
on to our view and the satellites can be seen going behind or in front of
each other. These animations and light curves show some of those events. |

ToUCam. LX-200 + Televue x2 Barlow. Approx 150 frames.
Freshly collimated telescope! |

ToUCam + IR filter. LX-200 + Meade Barlow f20. 1/25 Gain 30% Sat 75%
Approx 200 frames processed
in Registax. 50% resize of final image
Still significant aberration problems I think due to poor telescope
collimation and use of a cheap Barlow. |
