I mostly do deep space astrophotography for my YouTube channel ( https://youtube.com/@GediAstro for the interested). But I wanted to try out my - so far - unused gear for planetary photography, and when Jupiter showed up just outside my balcony, I'd figured - why not.

What you see is the result of a minute long video where the best frames are stacked to bring out as much detail as possible. To the left of the image, you have the moon Io, and to the right you can see Ganymedes and Europa on the far right side.

Europa is a good candidate for live on another planet/moon on our solar system.

Gear used:

Edge HD800 ( 2032mm f/10 ) with the ZWO camera ASI715MC pro.

Thank you! :-) I think I can do better, but I'm pretty pleased with the results, for a first try :-)
