I got up early wednesday morning at 1.30 and went out to the telescope that was already set up on my balcony. I aimed it at Jupiter. After some focusing and calibration, I started recording a timelapse. I wasn't sure how it would fare. I have shot Jupiter before, but not with this telescope. And not from Norway. After some processing, I am now happy with the result. I see that I still have things to learn about getting the most out of the images. But that is something I love about astrophotography; there's always new stuff to learn. This is a 2 hour timelapse with one image per minute. Sped up so the whole sequence takes 10 seconds. The two moons visible are Europa on the left and Ganymede on the right. Europa cast a shadow on Jupiter at the end of the timelapse. An extra bonus!
