Great shot CW - from a very late night!

What a lovely sight that is. You are good at framing these planetary images CW.

Very very nicely done mate. Small is beautiful, It's true.

So was this afocal and if so how do you connect your camera to the eyepiece.

Hi Guys.

Eyepiece projection was used and the connection to the scope is shown in the attached images.

I prefer to use the diagonal method as this put the viewfinder in the same postion as an eyepiece and saves a lot of grovelling about.

Talking of grovelling,SWMBO is returning from a visit with her sister today and I still have a few,well quite a lot really,of chores to do.

Pure luck in this case,Ron,I assure you.

It may look small but the actual size is 59.333" x 39.556" so I had to reduce it just a tiny bit to get it to fit.

I have but unfortunately with Jupiter at it's present altitude I have a very limited window of opportunity for observing/imaging. Basically he pops out from behind a tree into clear sky,moves on to sit atop a telegraph pole and then gets all wibbly wobbly as he warms himself above a chimney pot.

Anyway,as you asked,here's a rather sad wide view of the wibbly wobbly kind.

not at all CW looks ace, i love these widefield shots. just helps to put things into perspective, i mean everyone has seen close up stuff and the hubble pics and all that.

but seeing them in widefield just gives me the wow factor ya know?
