SGL 2023 Challenge 1 - Walking on the Moon
Pete Presland replied to MartinB's topic in SGL Challenges and Competitions
First night out in what seems like ages and the conditions were pretty stable in Bedfordshire. So, with the "walking on the Moon" theme i imaged Copernicus on Monday 2nd, at a Focal length i would not normally consider with the Asi290mm. According to Astronomy tools calculator at F30 this is a resolution of 0.08"x0.08" per pixel Captured with C9.25, Asi290mm, X3 Barlow, 642 filter, this is 20% stack of 3700 frames @ max size. It is a bit softer looking than at the sensible resolution, i captured a little before, but fairly pleased with how it came out. Worth clicking on to get max size and detail- 66 replies

A fine-looking Jupiter image, some nice detail visible there. -
I use a hood that i received a couple of Christmas back. Does the job, not cheap and is a little warm in the summer months. I also use a laptop tent and a couple of car windscreen sun shades clipped to a table to try and create a shaded Laptop.

Welcome back Ron, you are one of the few SGL members i have actually met in person at AstroFest a couple of years back 🙂 Good to hear you are on the mend, not much has changed around here really, seems a little Quiter than years gone by. I guess forums are not as popular as they once were perhaps. we are still moaning about the weather, seeing conditions, light pollution, but most importantly still enjoying this wonderful pastime.

I was pretty pleased with it, never sure about the colour though @neil phillips very interesting reading your thread below
