Jupiter 6/3/2018

Hi all!

Last night i went out to a friend's place on the outskirts of the city to image jupiter with my 8 incher and my DSLR. Atmospheric conditions were average-ish, just enough to push the scope to F20. I used backyardEOS in planetary mode to control the camera and captured jupiter 2 times about 45 minutes apart with 1700 Frame videos. In one of the images the great red spot is visible and in the other it's not. Please give me your honest feedback and advice, Clear skies!

Nice images for a DSLR. That's what I used for my first planetary images and it's tricky as typically the DSLR video is compressed format. Try a little less sharpening/wavelets on the GRS version to leave a smoother image, but they are still very nice captures. Geof

Great shots! And you used a DSLR for those? Nice. Love the GRS. Yes, try softer settings on the wavelets for smoothness.
