Jupiter, Europa, and Europa's shadow - 2023-11-11 0529 UTC

This is with my home setup -- Celestron Edge HD 925 with ZWO ASI120MM camera, 3x Barlow, and Optolong RGB filters. I wanted to see if I could keep Europa and its shadow looking decent while shooting with a mono camera. To do this, I limited the RGB SER files to 12 seconds and took each set in under a minute. After stacking in AutoStakkert and doing some sharpening in PixInsight, I used WinJUPOS to derotate the frames so I could check the resulting RGB images for color distortions around the moon or its shadow. Seeing that they weren't discernible, I stacked and derotated four RGB images from 0527 to 0531 UT in WinJUPOS and tweaked the result a little in PixInsight and Photoshop.

Europa is visible just below and a bit to the right of its shadow. Even though the seeing was better at this time compared to my previous image (see flic.kr/p/2pfGTKC ), I still couldn't get any detail on it. This is from my backyard in Long Beach, CA.
