Cloud and Drizzle made me go Planetary!

[AndrewG]

I had just got star aligned and ready to have another go at photographing M13 at around midnight when the cloud rolled in ahh!

As jupiter was in a fairly clear sky I decided to dig out an Opticstar video camera I got free with my scope and give it a go, although I may not have had good enough focus and Jupiter was not ideally placed I am more than pleased with the result .

Next time Jupiter is in a better location I think I will go again but may use a 2xBarlow to get more detail?

We had cloud around last night which finally covered the sky at 11.00 ish so didn't manage a lot ; hope you had better weather in middle earth!

I think that Jupiter could use a little less Gain and lot more frames. Better thena barlow would be eyepiece projection, I got a wonderful first timer image of jupiter using a 20mm plossl for projection.

Thanks Astrosathya for the advice; I had another go with more frames (much more frames) and as such Registax would not import the image . Had to cut it down by circa 75% to get it to load.. have attached the result.

The second is a great deal better. Not bad at all for a first attempt
