First Jupiter of the season

I got up early this morning to capture this view of Jupiter and the moons Ganymede (close to the planet) and Io. Conditions were quite good, with a NW breeze coming in from the sea and a DIMM seeing of around 0.8 arcsec. Captured at 30 fps, 1600 of 3600 frames stacked in Registax 6. I kept the processing very light to keep a natural appearance.
