Arrow Re: Astrophotography anyone?

still no meteors, though we had a spell of cloudy weather and little chance to catch one should it come by. nevertheless, i noticed Jupiter transiting just around dawn on my recordings the last few nights, so i got up this morning @4:30am and zoomed in by hand. no tripod here as i have the camera propped on a bean-bag in the window; the tripod won't get the camera forward enough.

i uploded the raw video without going through the video software, and now looking at that upload i see that i can no longer see Jupiters moon(s) as when viewing the original. so here's that upload and i'll go try and brighten the thing so the moon(s) are clear.

i found this java script utility for the Jovian moons and i think i caught Ganymede & Europa.
SkyandTelescope.com - Planets - Jupiter's Moons Javascript Utility

here's the raw video. manual focus to infinity, standard mode, auto exposure.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
