My first picture of Jupiter

[pyrasanth]

I have no real experience of planetary photography but I had a go tonight & captured this image of Jupiter using an 11" C11 & a Skyris 618C CCD Camera.

The seeing tonight was not good but I surprised myself with the result. This was from 6000 images at 120 frames per second at the prime focus of the Celestron 11 Edge HD.

I can only hope to get better as this is my first attempt at astro photography.

Nice image! You did well on a first try, appreciate you taking the time to upload, love looking at member pics, "as they saw it" kind of thing.

Thanks!. Next time I might try a barlow lens to increase the image scale as Jupiter is really bright in on the screen of the laptop. This might be the key to resolving a bit more detail. A close look at the image shows some swirly clouds in the belts. I need to work on capturing all that lovely detail. If you have any tips for image scale then please share them with me.

Unfortunately I have no experience of AP so cannot advise, I have experience of viewing other peoples captures though which led me to comment on yours

A great effort! Well done!  The barlow definitely helps!  I'm just learning too and the help on this forum is always superb.  Great pic though!
