An animation of Jupiter from 2021-08-04. This shows an eclipse happening on Jupiter as its moon, Io, passes between the gas giant and the sun. Io is visible to the left of the moon at the start as it begins its transit and its shadow moves across the cloud tops of of Jupiter!

If you spot aurora from this major solar storm, you can #DoNASAScience by making a report to participatory science project aurorasaurus.org!

This is my Eclipse image. We took the kids and drove up to Hueston Woods State Park. I forgot a few bits so ended up mainly shooting with my X-T30 and XF70-300 (used from @Lensrentals ) on a plain tripod. This is one stacked set of bracketed images.

Found a chargepoint location at a hotel. Looks like DC Fast charging isn’t working for my Model 3 but AC charging is. We will at least get some sleep in a bed and should be good to get home in the morning. Need to schedule service. 😔

C11 - Bubble Nebula This was a quick edit from 6 hours of collected data last night with the C9.25, L-eXt and ASI533MC on my CEM40 mount, all controlled by an ASIAir Pro. APP was used to create an Ha-OIII color image from the L-eXt filter data. A few tweaks in Ps later:
