Hi,

I thought I'd do a quick processing job of a bit of tonights data. I just had to share as it's blown my socks off! This is only my Skymax 150's second outing for imaging. Captured with a SPC 900nc, using a x2.5 barlow over three minutes. Preprocessed in PIPP keeping the best 50% of frames and stacked in Registax. 

Cant wait to get going with the data tomorrow

Nice one !

[knobby]

Really nice , amazing what can be achieved with those old 900s .

Well done

[strinjf]

Beautiful capture!

Nice pic. I was out sketching it at the same time.

[splicertech71]

Very very nice, wish the clouded would clear so I give it a try

Hi,

Puts my efforts to shame. I hate you.

That is exactly where I want my jupiter shots to get. I'll treat that shot as a definitive example of what an 150mm scope can do.

I think I screwed uplast night by not focusing well as the seeing was brilliant. I need to prioritise an RS tracker so I don't have to keep guiding and focusing and adjusting the webscam all at the same time.

Very nicely done good to see the SPC900 still producing excellent images.

Ok, this is the best of the bunch in a mini animation. 

Thanks for all the kind comments. I really think I made a massive leap forward last night

[Mr Spock]

Nice detail for a smallish scope. You've done a great job there.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Very nice detail. Maybe the animation would be even better if you allowed a slower frame rate

[Stub Mandrel]

For some reason that animation makes me want to visit the loo.
