HD Jupiter Color video with Moon Transit on 8-16-2010

I think this may be one of my most fun videos so far. It shows a couple cool things going on. First up, is the small moon transiting the planet. It looks close to 3d as it crosses over the edge of the planet. The next thing is that the Red storm comes around the bend as the moon goes off the disk and the small red spot Jr. is above the main storm. I also provided a zoom in to the moon and spot transit at the end of the video.

Thank you.  I am using some pretty simple stuff. I shoot planetary images/video with a Takahashi 130 TOA and a couple barlows 2x lenses. For the camera I used a DMK or Toucam ccd camera. I am pretty blessed with good seeing in the summer months.
