First ever planet image - Jupiter, SW 120ED, SPC900

[Sirius Bizness]

Tried my first go at planetary imaging last night. Didn't expect much as I knew I was missing a few key things but I am pleased with my first effort. Its amazing at how blurred, fuzzy capture can be transformed with a bit of processing.

Taken on SW 120ED with SPC900 webcam. 10fps, 3min avi. Stacked and wavelets adjusted in Registax6.

My two problems were focus as I need a Bahtinov Mask for this scope and polar alignment as I kicked he mount at some point.

Next time out I will use the MN190, ensure my PA is accurate and use a bahtinov mask so hoping to get some better detail.

That's a good start. I think you have a bit more FL with the MN190 so that should also help.
