1 High resolution imaging of mutual events
of the Galilean moons 2014/2015 John Sussenbach en Willem Kivits

2 1. Potentials of amateur high resolution imaging
Willem Kivits: 20 inch Newtonian John Sussenbach: C14

3 High resolution imaging today
WK JS Imaging with the C14 and ASI224MC camera

4 Comparing the big Jovian moons with the Earth-Moon system
1.15” ” ” ” Io Europa Ganymede Callisto

5 Triple shadow transit 12 October 2013
Ganymede Io Europa

6 Procedures 1.Capturing the avi’s
-Telescopes: C14 f/25 - f/40 (JS and WK) Newtonian inch (WK) - Camera’s: QHY5LII (CMOS) DMK618 (Sony ICX618 chip) - Filters: , 685 and 807 LP nm - Capturing: frames (60 sec at 100 fps)

7 2. Processing of the avi’s
- centering with PIPP ( sites.google.com/site/astropipp ) - preprocessing with Photoshop - (hand selection) - final processing with Autostakkert or Registax

8 High resolution imaging of Ganymedes
