Image Description and Details : IMPACT on the planet Jupiter
=========================
On 13.09.2021, I made a series of exposures to the transit of the IO satellite over the planet Jupiter.
Towards the end of the observation session, I noticed a large rapid spark in the IR filter, but I did not realize its importance until, the next day, the Brazilian amateur observer José Luis Pereira also discovered it in his captures and
he made it public. The seeing was good that night, but at the time of the impact it had dropped considerably.
Processing was required to combine the exposures made on the IR filter, in which the impact occurs, with the rest of the filters,
green and blue, to achieve a color image. The capture was made with a monochrome ZWO ASI 290MM camera, the exposure video being 2000 x3 frames on each filter.
The derotation of the SER videos was performed in the WinJUPOS program, the total duration being 14 minutes.
Although I am the beginning of the exposures to the planets, being focused on the deepsky pictures, I think I was very lucky to catch this event.
I want to thank Dm. astrophotographer Pepe Mera, for the tips related to the optical part, which have a lot in mind in the realization
exposures to planets.
