Jupiter animation (Jun 9, 2019)

Animazione realizzata a partire da due riprese, distanziate di circa mezz'ora. (ENG) This animation has been extracted from 2 videos half an hour apart. Technical data: C8EdgeHD ASI174MM Barlow apo 2x RGB Astronomik filters ADC ZWO

Jupiter and Io transit (July 6, 2019)

Ben visibile l'ombra del satellite Io, e, molto meno contrastato, anche il satellite stesso sul bordo Nord della NEB, nei pressi del meridiano centrale. (ENG) The black shadow of Io on the disc stands clearly against the reddish background, while the satellite itself is much less visibile on NEBn close to CM.

CFF Cass first light (Jupiter April 17, 2020)

La prima ripresa planetaria del CFF. Il satellite Callisto, prossimo al lembo precedente (est) è in transito sul disco del pianeta. Avendo un albedo molto bassa è facile scambiarlo per un'ombra. (ENG) First light of the CFF. Callisto moon, close to "p" limb (eastern) is in transit on jovian disc. Due to its low albedo, it's easy to mistake it for its shadow.

Jupiter April 26, 2020

Non è sempre vero che buon seeing significa assenza di nuvole, come può dimostrare questa ripresa, realizzata tra numerose nuvole in transito. (ENG) Not always good seeing means no clouds, as this image was taken in very variable weather but stable air.

Jupiter May 9, 2020

La NEB e la zona seguente (f) della GRS sono molto attive in questa apparizione. Il pianeta, a circa 2 mesi dall'opposizione, mostra un diametro abbastanza generoso (40"). (ENG) NEB and following GRS area are very active in this apparition. The planet, albeit still far from opposition, shows a remarkable appearent diameter (40").

Jupiter June 25, 2020

Condizioni atmosferiche buone in alta atmosfera ma purtroppo non altrettanto a livello del suolo, a causa dell'intensa calura. (ENG) Jupiter in average seeing conditions. There was low level turbulence due to abnormal temperatures during the day. CFF Classical Cassegrain 12" f/20 ASI290MM, Astronomik RGB filters ADC Pierro Astro

Jupiter June 26, 2020

In questa ripresa è visibile il satellite Ganimede con l'ombra che getta sul disco gioviano. La Grande Macchia Rossa sta sorgendo ad est. Seeing appena sufficiente. (ENG) Jupiter with Ganimede and his shadow. Some detail on satellite disc is visibile. Great Red Spot is rising on the left. Barely decent seeing.

Jupiter June 30, 2020

L'ultima ripresa del mese fatta in condizioni di seeing finalmente accettabili. (ENG) Last June shot, in reasonable seeing conditions. CFF Classical Cassegrain 12" f/20 ASI290MM, RGB Astronomik filters ADC Pierro Astro

Jupiter NTB outbreak (Aug 19, 2020)

Here's 2 images in longer wavelenghts of the outbreak discovered by Isao Miyazaki on Aug 18.

Jupiter NTB outbreak (Aug 28,2020)

Una ripresa a colori della tempesta gioviana scoperta da I. Miyazaki il 18 Agosto, qui insieme all'ombra di Europa e alla GMR. (ENG) NTB outbreak (discovered by I. Miyazaki on Aug 18) at CM here together with Europa shadow and GRS.

Jupiter and Ganymede (Jul 11, 2021)

Correct seeing conditions for this session. Ganymede was just ending its transit upon the disc, escaping from "p" limb. This image comes from 3 videos of 4' each. Satellite has been pasted separately, and the image is not oriented, so this is basically an aesthetical rendition only. CFF 12" f/20 Classical Cassegrain ASI462MC ADC Pierro Astro

Jupiter with Great Red Spot in methane light (Aug 08. 2021)

The GRS, as a superficial atmospheric structure, absorbs less in methane and appears bright in this band. The same do features which do no contains methane at all, like galilean satellites, Saturn rings and so on.

Europa and Ganymede double transit (Aug 22, 2021)

I was able keep a record this exciting event, despite seeing was bad and the planet low on the eastern horizon.
