  1. Once you have the finder aligned , use a long FL eyepiece to centre the planet. Have the exposure setting very high, when you put the camera in to the telescope and you should see a large out of focus disc as you insert the camera. You can then adjust position as required. The more you practice the easier it gets. Aligning the finder scope is an essential part of the scope set up, whatever you are doing. 10ms should be fine as long as the seeing is not too bad. It might be referred to as lucky imaging, but there is nothing lucky about planetary imaging.
  2. i have been using a similar time of around 9-10ms, but a histogram of 70%, i will definitely try a higher one next time out.
  3. A fine looking image, especially considering its current position.
  4. So hard to know just how good or bad the data is, then where to stop with it
  5. Nice looking image Peter, always good to see the GRS in view
  6. Previous effort was this and that was the not the first effort either
  7. Good looking image, it was certainly cold on Thursday night!
  8. It is not an easy thing to achieve, every time i think i am happy with a final result i am unhappy the next time i look at it. The image i have just posted is prime example of this.
  9. One of the better images from Thursday 30th Nov, Jupiter & Europa with GRS just coming around the limb. 120 second SER video, stacked 20% in A/S3, resized & sharpened in Reg6. conditions better than lately, but always nice to be under the stars 🙂 C9.25,asi224mc,ADC,X1.8 Barlow
  10. A fine end result, a very good looking image. Interesting to read about your thoughts regarding speed 10ms and having histogram up at 85%.
  11. its a magnificent image, the processing looks very good to me. A nice balance between maintaining a natural looking image and a good level of detail.
  12. I have got some extra mugs at home for sure, been a difficult year to be honest. I have been suffering from sleep related (i think) Migraine Aura, o Astronomy has had to change a little to fit around work and getting enough sleep. Not had one now since late August, glad of the dark evenings for Astronomy at a managable time 🙂
  13. weekend weather looking promising at the moment as well, should be well positioned by then
  14. Looks like very large complex area of spots already
  15. It is a great time to be an astronomer, imaging wise anyway. The digital advances have been spectacular in recent years, does not seem 5 minutes ago i was using an Philips Toucam Pro ( + Selotape) for the planets. Unfortunately the unrelenting march of light pollution has killed it for many visual astronomers.
  16. A slender crescent Moon & Venus looked stunning early on Saturday morning over Biggleswade united's Second Meadow Ground. So peaceful early in the morning. Simple Samsung S10+ Camera Phone image.
  17. Superb capture, really cool to such detail with a camera phone
  18. Excellent capture, very nice level of detail visible
