Europa Transit of Jupiter with a Celestron Evolution 8 telescope

In this short video I've had a go at capturing a transit of a Galilean Moon, Europa, across the disk of Jupiter. The seeing conditions were awful, with layers of cloud and unstable air, so the result could definitely be improved upon, but it was fun to track down the black dot of the moon as its parent planet nears oppositon. Why not have a go at capturing a moon with your telescope.

I've taken the transit times from the excellent Astronomy Now magazine.

I've processed the file using AutoStakkert 3, Registax and Paint Shop Pro.
