Jupiter 1 september 2021

Vacancy 2021, this time I’ve chosen to take the telescope instead of my MTB. Unfortunately, my location in Marina di Campo was not good for observation, so thank’s to Lello, from the local association in San Piero in Campo, I’ve been able to observe from their beautiful site.

The night was a little bit windy, but anyway a lot better than my traditional place.

This was the second time I’ve used a new camera so the original video was oversampled, creating a lot of problems during the take, in post-processing image was rescaled at 50% of the original size

And finally, playing with these images, a composition of the best.
