Kokatha man Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 That's a nice image with a good colour outcome, nicely contrasted - and without any over-zealous sharpening one often sees: congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cowboy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Very nice image! Don't be afraid to take more frames you will be surprised how much more detail can be obtained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Very nice image! Don't be afraid to take more frames you will be surprised how much more detail can be obtained.I was all set up for another longer run, but noticed Jupiter gradually dimming ... looked up from lappy to be confronted by fog ! and I mean thick fog, I was surprised the scope saw through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knobby Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thought I'd just add a pic taken early last year (spc900 on a 127 Mak)For comparison... A kind of journey from dabbling with a webcam to seriously trying to learn mid point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Nice shot. Did you try an RGB align in Regi. Looks like the planet is slightly off and the moon shows it quite clearly. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Cheers Freddie, yes, did rgb align on auto setting, may try manual ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilove1995 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 That's a fantastic image Gary I'd be well chuffed with that. My ASI120mc got it's first light last night and is about to be used again shortly. Will have to wait until I'm home later in the week before I can process the images though...Well done mate.Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Looks very nice. Plenty more to come there, I reckon, especially with a suitable barlow in the optical train.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Cheers James and Al, I'm on the lookout for a 1.6x Barlow as I think the 2.5x I have might be a bit much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Cheers James and Al, I'm on the lookout for a 1.6x Barlow as I think the 2.5x I have might be a bit muchI reckon it would be worth a go. I use the 2.5x Revelation barlow with my 127 Mak and ASI120MC. It will mean you're oversampling quite a bit, but it's worth a try. Otherwise I'd be tempted go for a 2x rather than 1.6x I think. I reckon I'd prefer to be around the f/24 mark than f/19. Neither would leave you too far off the mark though.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stev74 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 That's a great start with the new camera, I'm looking forward to seeing your results when you get a chance to get more data.... sadly it doesn't look like it will be tonight although it could be worse I've not had clear skies for weeks!!

knobby Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Cheers Stev74, it was a short run, then the mist rolled in. I'd loved to get more frames, just have wait for a good night again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
