Jupiter + Io animation (gif)

Thats great . What equipment, size of telescope did you use.

Absolutely stunning - the kind of material they should show in astronomy classes. You should try to get that published on the Sky at Night magazine CD. Send it off now - don't even think about it.

thanks for the kind words lads,
I used a meade 12"lx200 (my avatar) with a 2x apochromat barlow and an unmodified toucam to generate AVI streams, I experimented with using 5fps and 20, and surprisingly the 20 seemed to give better detail, I used registax to generate a single frame and then used photoshop for processing and the generation of the gif animation, it was the first time I used this photoshop feature so it took some fiddling to get it to work.

BTW, the GRS will be well visible in the next hour or so, have a look if you can.

Good work Dave

That is simply amazing Dave, great work!

Looks like 3D. Best I've ever seen from the ground.
