Jupiter 03/09/11 - 6" + webcam

[Dave R]

These are taken with a 150mm f/5 Newtonian with a 5x powermate, at about 2AM UT, 3rd September.

The main image is 30 frames stacked and processed in Registax 6. I don't have a motor drive so I just capture as it drifts across. Levels were adjusted in GIMP.

The other one is a composite made in GIMP, capturing the moons without the powermate. From left to right the moons are Ganymede, Io, Callisto and Europa.

Darned good from 30 frames

Really nice!

You really need a motor drive, but you can hand guide if need be and run the avi through Castrator before stacking

Not too bad BTW
