15-02-2015: Jupiter from the Holland with some good seeing.

[Draconid]

After missing part of the season because of making some improvements on my scope, I finally started imaging Jupiter.

Although the part of the Netherlands I am living in is below sea level, there is the odd night with good seeing:

This picture is a RGB made with my Skywatcher 250px Dobson on a VNS-platform, ASI120MM 3x Barlow (@F20) and RGB filters.

Processing was done with AS2, Registax and Winjupos.

Excellent

Lovely stuff Draconid - nice detail and process :-)

[Dr Hamzonian]

beautiful work, nicely processed.

[DrRobin]

Nice.

Apart from the poor seeing at your location, you are further away by around 125 meters!

A beautiful, natural looking image excellently done!

Well done, it's beautiful.

Great work. Nicely done! Looking forward to tonight. Seems we are going to have clear skies until 3am tomorrow. And there is a GRS transit at 23:05 so maybe, just maybe, I will manage to image jupiter tonight.

Beautiful work. Which 3x barlow was used if i may ask?

[spaceboy]

I know EQP can track very well as I've had one but getting them perfectly aligned to true north and correct ALT for high magnification imaging can be a pain so taking that in to account you have a superb image there Draconid.

Thanks for the replies, it nice to have good seeing and it happens probaly more than people think.

@Leveye, I use a 3x Televue barlow. With the images it produces I never had the urge to buy a powermate.

@The Eq platform I use is home build, and given it price (~100 euro for materials) it performs absolutely fantastic. If the polar alignment is good, the remaining drift is quite little and I can keep Jupiter in the small field of view for several RGB series. I do have to regulate the speed, but I have a handbox for that. I will make a post in the ATM section soon to show its construction.

...did you use a periscope..?!? 

Sorry, it must be tiredness...I couldn't help myself!

Very well done!
