    Planetary imaging with 102/1300 Maksutov

    in Imaging - Planetary

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I am a newbie on this forum, this is my first topic here but I would like to show you my recent planetary imaging results. I started to catch the planets with a dedicated planetary camera last month but never thought that a small 4" Maksutov can show such small details. The equpment I used:

    • SW 102/1300 Maksutov
    • 2.25x Q-turret Barlow lens
    • QHY5L-II color camera
    • EQ-3 GOTO mount

    All the images were taken on differend countrysides in Hungary. I hope you will like it :)

    Also, please share your images taken with similar OTA, I'd like to learn some tricks from others as well :)

    Mars again, 5 minutes stacked in AS!3, processed in Registax. You can see also Olympus Mons and Arsia Mons next to the terminator :) (2020.09.05)

    Finally, a result of a Hungarian star party where I learned how to use properly my equipment :) This time I borrowed an ADC for Saturn.
