New Camera, Great Jupiter!

[orion25]

Hi, all. I just got a new solar system camera and after putting it through its paces with my 180mm Mak, I managed to produce a pretty nice image of Jupiter. It was just a few days past opposition, seeing was good, and the GRS was in view. I processed about 10 seconds of video, generating about 300 frames, in Registax 6:

Cheers!

Thanks, Gus! I'm still learning all the controls but I think I got the basics down. Registax 6 is my friend, lol!

Nice one Reggie, good image!

Thanks, Stu! I think it's my new "best", lol. I was fortunate to catch the GRS

excellent Reggie, good to see the camera producing some nice detail already. You can capture for much longer, at least 60 secs at that focal length.

Thanks, Pete! I'm going to try processing some longer captures and experiment.

Thanks, Mars! I'm excited about it. I want to get a good image of Saturn (that's been eluding me), and, of course, Mars

Thanks, tooth dr! It works well with my 180mm Mak + 2×barlow. I'm going after Saturn and Mars when they reach opposition.

Don't we all... the opportunity is still on its way... 27th June for Saturn and 27th July for Martian opposition.

Good luck.

Thanks, Angie! And the camera didn't break the bank, only $180 USD for the Orion StarShoot 5MP Solar System Camera.
