Another nice clear morning to get up and out around 04:00.. but did not actually start imaging until 04:40 or so.
BUT… the sun is coming up so much later I was able to do imaging runs clear through until 06:33..
so that is 33 runs of 3 minutes each with a 30 sec gap to allow the computer to catch up if needed.
In addition, I was using a feature of Firecapture that I have not used before.. a Cut Out box. and it worked well.
It reduced my chances of having Jupiter drift out of the FOV and ruin that run.
In the upper right is Io, moving away left to right.
On the bottom left is Europa moving in left to right. And another serendipitous event.. Europa shadow transit! Very nice.
The animation is large so will be posted on starlightcascade.ca a little later.
So far I am very happy with how this is working out. a dew heater is on the corrector plate and a dew cap is over that as well.
