First Jupiter with my setup

[assasincz]

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you some of my first attempts at imaging Jupiter I have ever tried.

I recently modified a cheap Prestigio PWC2 webcam to have an default cheap IR cut filter, and few days ago, I acquired a decent-quality Barlow element - Hyperion Zoom Barlow 2.25x

I tried imaging with this setup with my 114/900 EQ2 newtonian and 300p Dobsonian. Jupiter was fairly low in all cases so I guess seeing was not briliant. Im only starting to learn how to operate Registax properly.

Images from 114/900 newtonian

Images from 300p dobsonian

The images were taking a day apart, in the early mornings, and on my second try, I wanted to make a composite GIF animation of Jupiter's rotation, probably about tw hours worth of images.

Please, share your thoughts

Love the pictures with the 300p and the video great captures.

Those are cracking shots for a first try, way better than I managed first time out!!

A good start indeed..!

Much better than my first Jupiter blob. Keep it up!

I would like to share with the community yet another animation of Jupiter I made this morning through my 4.5" EQ2 newtonian. This time, Jupiter is fairly overexposed, but since seeing was terrible, I decided to focus on the motion of the four Gallilean moons around Jupiter. Enojy.

Excellent Images. Keep up the good work.

Just like the others - way better than mt first go which looked like a painting by a 5 year old :-)

Great start!!

Some very nice images in there, especially for a first try. I am really impressed what your very modest 114mm delivers. The 300 Dob obviously gives better images, but that is to be expected. I think the 300 could do with a longer barlow, to tease out more detail, but tat would of course make tracking a problem

Nice images,

Great stuff give me something to aim for.

Got a new scope and struggling to get to grips with it. Looking at these give me hope.

I like these a lot, especially the animation of the moons. It's like watching a child's toy until you realize the huge scale it's all taking place on.

Love the movement of the moons. Pleasure to see these pics and GIFs.
