Hi

Is that the GRS I can see?

[FrankieValley]

Very nice! Much better than my attempt a little further South in St Albans with a 250P on EQ6 and SPC900

[Daz1974]

Nice pictures. Ive been impressed with how much I can see of Jupiter through my 130p.

my first attempt at jupiter with my new scope

Yup thats the GRS alright

DRG.. What barlow were you using ? I found trying to use a 5x impossible, so used a 2x. Maybe a little more processing would bring it out ?

Daz, its brill isnt it seeing has been really good.

Chesty what did you use to take that ? My first attempt was no where near as good. Well done.

[FrankieValley]

I used a 3x barlow. I too tried a 5x, but I think that is too much for the SPC900. I think I'll see what happens by introducing darks, flats and bias - something I haven't yet tried. I'll also wait for the moon to go away and cross fingers for better seeing and when that doesn't work, I'll get a DMK 21AU04.AS

[Daz1974]

Quality!!

Good images there mate

[Andy P]

Can't believe my luck.!

Just got some money together to get my HEQ5 with syn trek from first light optics and guess what, they no longer have them instock.!!!! ?????. I've been waiting months after having to pay out for car repairs etc...

Looks like I'm going to have to save more to get the next one up with synscan handset of which I already have the version 3 handset ready... Can things get any worse.!

Jason, what settings did you use when processing your images?

My first attempt at jupiter is in the thread below. I spent about 2 hours capturing some video, then anohter couple messing about in registax but not really sure what/how to modify regarding the wavelets and other settings.

I used my 130p with bog standard 2x barlow that came with my skywatcher. Was pretty impressed with what I got but seems a bit dark compared to some images Ive seen taken.

Hoping for clear sky tonight to have another go, so far the forecast for later seems OK

[jasonp]

I'll dig out my settings but generally I make sure its nice and bright on the screen without washing out too much
