Jupiter: The Great Red Spot in Sharp Detail

“One of the sharpest captures in the collection: the Great Red Spot in vivid orange, with three Galilean moons in the same frame.”

This is one of the sharpest Jupiter captures in the collection: the Great Red Spot appears in vivid orange with a turbulent, churning structure trailing behind it, set against finely detailed, braided cloud bands. Three of the Galilean moons are visible in the same frame as small points near the disk.

Captured as RGB video sequences, derotated in WinJUPOS, stacked in AutoStakkert!3, and processed in PixInsight.
