MilwaukeeLion Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 A baby Jupiter from last week. ED80TCF, Neximage Burst ccd, 2x barlow, EQ-G mount, icap, registax. Second Jupiter attempt - improvement in color and detail. First time using EQMOD/Stellarium to guide Atlas EQ-G mount, fun controlling telescope from inside vs being in cold outside.ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarsG76 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Nice Jupite... But.... Isn't being out in the cold a part of amateur astronomy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilwaukeeLion Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks, maybe, but this set up turns any dwelling into instant observatory. Set up scope, polar align, go inside, have drink / observe. My Nikon says not to operate below 32 F, I worry I might damage it when temp drops. Little ccd can handle -40 C, no need to sit outside and stare at it. Ordered better ccd, hoping atik infinity will improve observatory view.

Pete Presland Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 That is a beautiful little Jupiter and made all the better by the moons in the image as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeskor Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yes, a splendid Jupiter with some good detail and excellent moons. Must be fun to control the scope from inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethr Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thats' a great capture.Just as we see it in the EP.Sometimes I wonder if we get too greedy trying for the perfect image when we end up with just the planet cropped and no moons.Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
