Jupiter - 2022-11-10 00:04 to 02:55 UTC

            This animation includes Jupiter, Europa and its shadow, Ganymede and its shadow, and Io. At the beginning of the animation, Io is already in front of Jupiter's disk near the left limb, but has blended with Jupiter's surface and cannot be seen. 

Ganymeded is the bright object to the left of Jupiter. It can be followed in its transit toward the right for a few frames, at which time it also blends with Jupiter's surface. At about the same time and in about the same place that Ganymeded blends, Io's shadow appears on Jupiter's surface just inside of the left limb. 

Next, Ganymede's larger and darker shadow appears of Jupiter's left limb and begins follow Io's shadow as they transit toward the right. At about the same time, Europa becomes visible just inside of Jupiters right limb, and can be seen completing its transit of Jupiter, and exiting toward the right. 

While all of this is occuring, Io is passing behind Jupiter and is either hidden by Jupiter itself, or hidden in Jupiter's shadow. Shortly after Europa exits from Jupiter's disk, Io emerges from Jupiter's shadow well-separated from Jupiter's disk in the upper right corner of the image.

At the very end of the sequence Ganymede approaches the right limb and can be seen up until just before it exits Jupiter's disk.

The sequence is composed of 63 sets of
 1,900 OSC frames shot in four minute intervals. The best 50% of each set of frames were stacked in Autostakkert, and the stacked image was wavelet sharpened in Registax. The AVI animation was compiled in PIPP.
