First ever Jupiter 27/06/2019

[Swoop1]

A couple of single frame images of Jupiter taken in atrocious conditions on 27th June. Jupiter was about 1 deg above my neighbours (furiously radiating) roof top at the time of imaging. I could have waited a couple of hours for it to move around but work in the morning suggested that getting on with it was probably a good idea.

SW 150P Newtonian on driven EQ3-2, Sony a6300 and X2 barlow.

1) ISO400, 1/13 sec. 22:20 UTC. A bit iof detail but very hazy. moons not immediatly visible but they emerge if you enlarge.

2) ISO3200, 3/10 sec, 22:22 UTC. Jupiter overexposed but the moons now revealed. Later plan is to process the two to combine the better features of each.
