Jupiter & Io

With Jupiter so prominent in the evening sky it’s hard to take pictures of anything else. Saturday night was clear and I stayed out to image the moon Io crossing in front of the planet. Unfortunately, a fundamental error meant I inadvertently left the f/6.3 field flattener on the telescope and didn’t notice until I’d packed up at 12:30 and this has spoiled what otherwise may have been reasonable images.

Best of the lot is this one, an RGB composite of about 700 frames of each colour.
