Beginner - Jupiter, Saturn and Neowise

[matthasboldlygone]

This is my first attempt at processing video in Lynkeos and a bit of photoshop. About 20 seconds of blurry video. A good polar alignment on HEQ5 Pro and it was rock solid tracking, no more chasing things off screen

My best single shot of Saturn, hopefully got some video to process later..

And an attempt at Neowise

Overall I think it turned out to be a good session, happy with the progress so far. Tips and comments welcome 👍

What telescope and camera did you use?

Jupiter and Saturn are showing quite a bit of detail that's great as where I am they are still very low in the sky.

Did you capture the tail on neowise on viewing this thread using my phone I can't see one? How did you capture the comet did you use video?

Scope : Bresser AR 102/600 with a 5 x Barlow
Mount : HEQ5 Pro + rowan belt
Camera : Bresser HD deep sky camera

They're still low here, I get maybe 10 minutes of viewing between the trees.

Neowise has a bit of a smudge, same setup and just a single shot, I think 10 second exposure with gain up full. May try that one again tonight..

Neowise is huge, you don't want to use a barlow on it. Do you have a dslr with wide field lens you could simultaneously piggy back your setup with to get best of closer and further away

Had a go at processing the video again, maybe slightly better results, better colour..

Very nicely captured.
