Quick Jupiter & Saturn

[Knighty2112]

First time to try my Skyris 274C camera bought off here a few weeks back. Attached onto my Celestron Omni 120mm ‘frac. Untracked AVI videos taken. Processed with PIPP, Registax, PS and also on Ipad. AVI video frames approx 1200 of Jupiter, and 800 of Saturn. GRS visible on Jupiter, and nice details in Saturn too, so well chuffed on first images taken. Images flipped for correct orientation.

Nice one Gus, looks great.

Your heads up had me struggling as the view is via tress, but I got a peep at the GRS. 👍

Well done Alan. Always nice to see the GRS. Used my 80a blue filter when viewing it visually and it stood out like a sore thumb!

One thing that stood out even to the naked eye, and that shows in the photo of Jupiter, is how much darker the north equatorial belt is compared to its southern counterpart.

Nice sharp captures

Thanks. Yes, I was surprised they came out as good as they did as I wasn’t sure if I’d got the focus right.

Rather nice images Gus and to say they are affected by atmosphere, as they are low in the sky, makes them even more appealing.

Focus is really tough, once you have the seeing conditions, its the key along with the colimation of the scope.
