Jupiter animations showing the transit of Ganymede's shadow. Photographs taken with an 8" Meade LXD55 SCT and ToUcam Pro in 640x480 mode. The animation consists of 16 images that were captured on July 29, 2006 between 2:01 UT and 2:47 UT. The larger animation is in 400x400 resolution, while the smaller animation is in 200x200 resolution. Jupiter was centered and cropped in each of the frames using ppmcentre. Paint Shop Pro version 9 was used for adjusting the color balance. The images were converted into an animated GIF using Ulead GIF Animator version 1.5.

Jupiter animations. Photographs taken with an 8" Meade LXD55 SCT and ToUcam Pro in 640x480 mode. The animation consists of 23 images that were captured on June 19, 2005 between 2:07 UT and 3:08 UT. The larger animation is in 640x480 resolution while the smaller animation is in 320x240 resolution (reduced using IrfanView). Jupiter was centered in each of the frames using AstroArt version 3.0 (the Align function under the Image menu). Paint Shop Pro version 5 was used to clean up the centered images. The images were then imported into Ulead GIF Animator version 1.5. The 3D animations were produced by taking consecutive pairs of images and converting them to 3D anaglyphs using Anaglyph Maker ver 1.08. The resulting 3D images were then run through Ulead GIF Animator.
