Amazing images, well done! John

Excellent images, well done!

Thanks for that explanation of your technique David. John

Very interesting post David. I have never attempted a Schmidt corrector plate, you make it sound very straight forward. John

Nice images, good to see you posting again Neil.

Hi Graham, nice image. Bear in mind that most glass lenses absorb in the UV, so not ideal for imaging Venus in the UV. John

The telescope was hired from Athos, La Palma. Try a google search! Hope you mange to find something that meets your requirements.

Sadly, my last imaging session with the cpc 9.25 here on La Palma, could not resist a stab at Uranus, not too much details to report!!!! John

Sadly, my last imaging session with the cpc 9.25 here on La Palma. After some poor seeing things improved a little this morning. Best 30% of 180 sec video at F20 with ASI244 colour camera. Been a good few years since I did planetary imaging, I feel like a beginner again!! John

Thanks for the advice and comments, appreciated!

Thanks Craig. Been here a few days now and the seeing is very variable, last night was particularly bad so no imaging possible. Winjupos is something I need to catch up with, I am just coming back to planetary imaging after a break!

Re-posted the image so it can be seen without having to download!

Thanks Craig

Not sure why the image is not showing and needs to be downloaded to view! Can anyone enlighten me please? Thanks.

Another from La Palma. Celestron CPC 9.25, ASI244 camera best 30% from 180 sec video. Processed with Astrostakkert and Registax. I have learned that using an altaz mount for planetary imaging is not without its problems, nonetheless quite pleased with the result! Jupiter 091122.bmp
