Is this image worthy?

[peroni]

Seeing some of the other Jupiter images posted over the last couple of days, I'm not so sure :-)

I'll post it anyway as it is my first attempt using my Canon 1000D liveview recording with  APT software.

Camera attached with x2 barlow onto an ED80 scope.

I recorded 600 frames for this image using the x10 zoom option in APT and stacked the best 50% in Registax 6.

So... thoughts on how to improve? Given the limitations of my less than ideal kit :-)

That is a very respectable image given the instrument used. For an 80mm scope you have captured a lot of detail, focus and colour look OK (perhaps a tad blue, but that it a matter of taste).

Would be a good idea to save the image as a PNG or JPEG so that it is actually visible in the post ... 

I am not alone in not wishing to download a picture just to view it ...

Just because you don't have ideal kit doesn't mean you shouldn't post images.  It's a tough thing to do with an ED80 and DSLR.

I'd start by trying for more frames I think.  No reason you couldn't start with a stack of three or four thousand.

I have a whole load of data from Sunday. Typically taking 600 frames at a time but over about an hour or so. Not sure if I could add them together as the moon transit would become apparent.

I'll give it a go later on. Either that or I could knock up a movie show :-)

The choice is endless.

I'll definitely get out again and grab a lot more frames in one go though. Thanks for the tips.

Every image is worthy, you still got the transit well done!

Thanks for posting ... 

And it's a very worthy image ....

It's a good result for such a small scope
