Not a bad start at all. Might want to try a faster shutter speed, and/or lower ISO setting for the moon? (first picture)

Its a bit bright white...

Your jupiter picture looks nice also. Better than my first attempt.

The thing about planetary imaging though, is you dont take single pictures. You film them. I assume your DSLR has a recording option? Try to film Jupiter for about 90 sec. Then use a software called Registax to pull out the best frames from the video and stack them for you.

Most people do this with either a CCD camera, or a modified web-cam. I got a modded webcam myself, I just havent gotten around to actually using it yet. Been collecting dust since last winter... hehe

Anyhow, you're off to a good start there.

Sincerely, Alveprinsen.

Big thanks for advices!!

Today i will try that.

But first of all, i need to understand how to use telescope tracking mode for filming

Looks good. Your first images a lots better than my first images.

I don't know your mount so i can't help with tracking, but if there is an option you want to select "sidereal rate" which is roughly the rate jupiter will appear to move across the sky.

Good luck.
