2003 February 23 at 6:13 UT, full-color (255 images taken in 30 min, 42 used: R 10 x 0.33s, G 14 x 0.33s, B 18 x 0.33s) ST-10XME eyepiece projection at f/38 (click here for a short animation with no filter) (AVI file for Windows Media Player), by Greg Morgan.

, 2003 February 1, full-color (255 images taken in 30 min, 52 used: L 13 x 0.11s, R 4 x 0.33s, G 12 x 0.33s, B 23 x 0.33s) ST-10XME eyepiece projection at f/38 by Greg Morgan.

Jupiter
Jupiter and its moons
, 2004 March 19 at 05:00 UT, full-color ST-7XE LRGB image at f/6.3 by Dan Chase and Scott Endler. The moons reproduced as red and green spots, because of the way the color image was taken, one filter at a time. From west (left) to east (right), the moons are Io, Europa, and (on the east side of Jupiter) Callisto. The Great Red Spot is just visible, on the western limb.
