This is an animated GIF with three frames taken about 20 minutes apart and you can see Jupiter rotating and its nearest moon, Io, moving along it's orbit.

Equipment:
OTA: Apertura 6" Ritchey-Chrétien Reflector (f/9)
Barlow: Apertura 2x Barlow (f/18)
Camera: ZWO ASI183MC Pro Cooled Color Camera
Mount: Explore Scientific EXOS2-GT PMC-8
Captured with ZWO ASI Studio ASICap.

Processing Details:
To make this three-frame animated GIF image, first three short video clips of about 3,000 frames were captured with ZWO's ASI Studio software. Then, each of those video clips was processed with software called AutoStakkert. I directed AutoStakkert to select the best 5% of each of those clips and stack those images to create single image for each clip. Each of those resulting images was further enhanced and sharpened with Registax 6 using it's Wavelet Sharpening Algorithms to bring out the fine details. Then the three final frames were combined into an animated GIF image.
