Here are my first attempts at imaging Jupiter this year at only 17 degs altitude. An IR742 and colour image from last night.

Seeing poor with fast ripples. The elongated moon in the IR image is Europa.

The SCT is a versatile scope. The C9.25 is a more manageable scope than the C11 if you are swapping regularly. 

Good luck

Hi Gina

Speaking from many years experience, the most cost effective way to go is either a C9.25 or C11 OTA on your EQ8. I have seen them on UK Astro buy and sell for £800-£1000.

Here are some Jupiter and Saturn images that I took with my C11 a few years back before I traded up to a C14.

Superb.

Hi John

Well done, great first image with the new set up. Definately some detail there.

Best regards

Peter
