Jupiter through Istar Achromat

[DaveGibbons]

Finally got a webcam on my homebuilt 5" Istar F8 refractor. Black n white shot of jupiter this evening . 1000 images stacked in registax. Shows a fair amount of detail for a relatively modest aperture. Unmodded toucam pro with 2x ultima barlow. I've a couple more avi's to look at but probably this is the best I can do.

cheers

Nice work, I'd be well pleased with that, especially since you built the scope yourself.

Nice work Dave

Any reason for going Mono?

And did you use any Barlow?

Clayton, As the lense is a f8 Achromat it has some CA and as I am not an expert imager it's easier to get good images in mono, I don't really image much as I am really just a visual observer. 2X Barlow was used.

Ahhh! That makes good sense

A nice shot with plenty of detail, i like your reasoning for going mono too, makes perfect sense
