Message Subject Jupiter and Saturn 4K Time Lapse
Poster Handle here&back
Post Content

Here's my time lapse spanning the best 45 minutes of the Great Conjunction that I was able to observe. Played back at 15x, 30x, 60x and 120x realtime. If you watch the fastest versions of the video you can see the moons of Jupiter and Saturn moving through the frame. Each frame was automatically aligned on Jupiter and stacked in 0.5 second segments to make up the frames of the time lapse.

Pretty cool, thanks Astro.

I was expecting them to come closer together and converge/lap over eachother but I guess that's as close as they came and then started to drift apart after that?

The closest they came was 1/10th of a degree. That's about 20 times larger than Jupiter itself in the view. That's still incredibly close though, this is the only time in my lifetime I will be able to fit both planets in the view at this magnification.

Oh yes! I never thought about it in that way.
Spectacular - thanks :)
