Reworked image Jupiter with Io October 2, 2022

I reworked my image of Jupiter from October 2nd, 2022 (UT20h30). The image is a combination of stacking Jupiter and the moon Io separately using AS3!.

WinJUPOS Derotation Jupiter

I already was using WinJUPOS to find timings when the Great Red Spot would show up. Now I used WinJUPOS to derotate my Jupiter images.
As a reference I used the instructions from Info-Polaris July-September '22 number 156.:

• choose planet "Jupiter" under Program - Celestial Body
• open image and add coordinates and exact date
• choose adj tab and select outline frame - automatic detection
• save the file - be aware not select LD compensation
• start dereotation sequence by choosing Tools and derotation images
• with edit add new images
• select exact timing for rotation period and select image extention (tiff)
• compile image and your are ready

Editing and compiling  9 Jupiter Ser files from October 2, 2022  UT20h24-UT20h39. LD during derotation set on level 0,01. Final editing using CS4 and DeNoise AI
