| Io occulting Ganymede animation by Milika-Nicholas |
"We imaged Jupiter using the ir742nm filter on 26th November 2014 with the planet only 36° above the horizon employing 10 x 50 second consecutive captures. Due to the rapid movement of the moons with regard to each other we could only focus at the very start of the first capture and consequently focus became "soft" as the sequence progressed, although this really only affected the planet disk itself. Here is a "close-up" view of the moons by themselves at 375% of the capture scale. All 10 avi's were used and the animation reverses upon itself and is looped to play continuously. The first frame was taken at 18:59:26 and the last at 18:37:45 on 26th November."
