Jupiter (Again!) from 19th May

[StargeezerTim]

Here are a couple from last night. Both iso 200, one (with less contrast) was about 1800 frames and the other 3200 frames. The seeing wasn't as good as the previous night but its nice to any imaging at with these twilight nights.

I'd say thats a nice result given the poor conditions. Are you using the EOS 550d in crop mode?

It's just luck I got the 550D with the crop movie move. When I got the camera it was before I got into Astro and when I started on this lark, I was pleased to find the 550 D is one of the only cams with this function. The camera is really old now, with trim falling off, and I'm going to replace it soon, but I'll keep it just for planetary imaging...

That is astounding for a DSLR capture.
