Conjunction of Moon & Jupiter - and transit of Io & its shadow
4

Tonight (12/1/2022) there was a nice conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon, they were about 2 degrees apart in the sky. At the same time Jupiter's moon Io was transiting across Jupiter, and its shadow was visible on Jupiter.

I shot the conjunction with the full-spectrum M200 and modded EF-S 55-250 IS STM with Kenko 1.5x SHQ teleconverter. I shot the Moon alone with a Meade ETX-125 telescope, the M200, and a Viltrox 0.71x speed booster to fit the whole Moon in the frame.

Jupiter was shot with the full-spectrum M200, Tiffen Hotmirror filter, Meade ETX-125, Kiron 2x MC7 teleconverter. For each final image of Jupiter, I took 3 minutes of 4k video (M200 crops the video), used the 'best' 1,600 video frames, stacked them in Autostakkert, the TIFF result wavelet-sharpened in Registax, and final processing in DxO PL.
