Jupiter and moons 20th Oct

[MisterT]

Had to go out early last night to catch the GRS but had some mist ,which meant i had to shoot at near max gain which has caused a lot of noise.

Not great seeing but at least i caught Ganymede going behind and Io closing in for a transit.

Meade 8" sct and Dbk21.

That is a fantastic image, well done. Is that detail showing on one of the moons?

Cheers,

Super image Martin even more so in not too favourable conditions and i'd say you got some detail in the moons well done

[stev74]

Some really amazing detail in your image, including on one of the moons, well done!!

Lovely detail. And a nice bonus of detail on Ganymede. Great result with an 8"

Hi Mr T

Fantastic detailed image, can I ask what your secret is in getting such great focus?

[callisto]

Exellent image, well done

[MisterT]

Thanks for all your comments on my image. This is the first time i have imaged Ganymede so i am well pleased to get a hint of detail on the moon.

As for focusing it is still a bit hit and miss for me. I have just purchased a crayford focuser for my sct which stops all the image shift i was getting before but the image still jiggles around when focusing no matter how light a touch you have.

What i tend to do is focus until i think it is as sharp as i can get under the conditions and then record an avi. Then i record a few more either side of this point and hope for the best.

Lovel image Martin. Detail on Ganymede, brilliant. Know what you mean about the focus - have a crayford on my C8. Sometiimes the laptop screen flatters to deceive!! Great capture.
