Jupiter - 12th October, 2013

Hi all,

Been a long time since I last captured any planet mainly because bad seeing and very high humidity, but the new ASI120MM arrived a couple of days ago , and the seeing was starting to get better as well!

First time I captured jupiter with a dedicated planetary camera and I think I got some deecent details:

3X barlow:

5X Powermate:

Close up on Callisto and Europa shadow:

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi there , 

Can you not save the images as PNG's and attach them so that they are displayed in the post rather than having to make us download them all ... ?

Some nice images there. Like the shadows.

Lovely! There's some really nice detail on show there, great stuff!

Very cool. Nice job catching the transits.

Very nice. A little bit of onion ring (i think thats what its called) in the images. But really is quite interesting how much difference in quality there is between the barlow and the powermate.

very nice detail Ilan, when is the filter wheel due?

Many thanks everybody .

I was wondering about this artifact... do you know how to fix it?

I will probably buy an IR filter first and later the LRGB filters and filter wheel.
