First Jupiter with a barlow

[AstroAdam]

Hi All,

This is my first go at Jupiter using a Barlow (2x). It's taken with my 200p f/6 Newt, with a Toucam 740k (flashed to an SPC900), and the 2x Skywatcher Barlow.

Taken on 16th January, but processed tonight. Decided to have a go with PIPP and Autostakkert for the first time (rather than Registax). Wavelets in Registax. Got Io and Callisto too. Was the best 800 of about 1200 frames at 15fps.

Unfortunately, no GRS at that particular time that night!

Just acquired a 3x Antares barlow, so am looking forward to giving that a go too

Actually sold my Toucam to get a QHY5v the other day, but have already bought another one to replace it, as I was lucky enough to get one cheap from somebody tonight who had it in the bottom of a drawer gathering dust!

Hmm - how do I get images to appear full-size in posts?!! Click the Jupiter shot if you haven't already, for slightly more bigness!

Very nicely done.

Nice picture do you have any idea what the two moons where.

[JamesF]

Io on the far right and Callisto at the bottom, I suspect.

Yeah, I'm happy with that. And I reckon the image was captured between 8pm and 9pm

[AstroAdam]

Indeed! 8:55 I believe!

I thought it was experience... Callisto I could understand because it is the lowest moon. But it was also in his original post. lol.

I must admit I missed it in the original post. I was more interested in the image

Cheers all. I'm looking forward to getting back out there and having another go at it soon. Hopefully, the GRS will put on a display for me next time!
