Jupiter Imaging Session - February 9, 2015

The sky this evening is clear but seeing is once again poor. I can see Ganymede transit and casting shadow while Great Red Spot is about to exit the disk. As I'm experimenting on doing monochrome RGB planetary imaging, I got to learn that if there is a Jovian satellite transiting the disk, the exposure should be cut short so that one won't be dealing with a blurry satellite disk caused by RGB misalignment on the satellite disk as it is moving either faster or slower than Jupiter's rotation :( Since I'm pretty new in doing planetary monochrome RGB imaging, I hope to get improvements as more and more shots are taken.
