Default Full Jupiter rotation movie, pix of Jupiter, its moons, and Uranusand Neptune

The pictures and the movie appear to have been shot in
orbit around Jupiter but were, in fact, taken from Earth,
specifically the Barbados.

Some of the pictures clearly out-NASA NASA.

As another member of sct-user commented, "The video is
amazing. It shows nearly a full rotation - maybe 9 hours
worth, which means the frames near the start and end were
taken with Jupiter far from high in the sky."

The photographer, Damian Peach of the UK, produces some
of the most incredible astro-imagery I've ever seen. His
home page is http://www.damianpeach.com/ where you can
find more pictures and details of his observatories and
equipment.
