A day on Jupiter only takes 10 hours, so the planet rotates around 2.4 times during one Earth-day (24 hours).
To see this for myself, I imaged Jupiter every 10 minutes over the course of an hour. That resulted in over 13 GB of raw video data! Anyway, after a couple hours of processing, I came up with this animation:
The full frame also shows the movement of all four Galilean moons.
From left to right: Europa, Callisto, Jupiter, Io, Ganymede
Telescope: TS 80/480 mm APO with 3X Tele Vue barlow (f/18)
Camera: ASI120MM with manual replacement of RGB filters (no filter wheel)
Video: 1184×320, 30 second limit (~1500 frames)
Software: FireCapture, AS!2, PixInsight, RegiStax, GIMP
Note to self:
Aligning and rotating all frames takes so much time! I should buy a filter wheel…
