ASTRO: Io and Jupiter 6-29-08

Hi - here are three images taken of Io and her shadow on Jupiter taken
in the wee hours of 6-29-08. I was trying a variety of camera settings
regarding gain and exposure speed thus there is not much continuity
between images (still feeling my way here). Nevertheless, It's good to
see Jupiter coming around in the evening sky!

- take care - Rod

some data:
NexImage camera at prime focus (f10)
300 mm Meade classic
Losmandy Titan
Registax 4.0 (no additional imaging software used ... yet)
1 copy of Donald C Parker's excellent Sky and Telescope article ;)

Rod, this almost looks as if Io had left something like an oil trail on
Jupiter :-)
I'd wish Jupiter was higher this year.
