YAY! Great Conjunction Jupiter Saturn 12" Dob and ZWO224MC - no track,no edits, no process

[Tiago Ferreira]

Just a snapshot on sharpcap pro.  Already have one shot for life.

I'm waiting for my eq platform so, no tracking. And i first try to process and i didn't like the results. If enhance one, loose another. No way, just the pure conjunction, me,my wife and them and a 12" dobson with ZWO224MC. My 1st astrophoto with Sharpcap Pro and with my new camera, couldn't be a better event to capture for the 1st time. I am very happy!!

And here's my image of the Great Conjunction Jupiter / Saturn 2020. In a 12 "GSO 1500 f/5 on an equatorial platform and ZWO ASI224MC camera. It took a light touch of photoshop to make Saturn stand out a little more. I still stacked the video but I didn't like the result because it sent Saturn down a lot. I ended up with this one that was a snapshot in Sharpcap Pro. It is also true that I am not experienced in image processing, I am much more of visualization, real and natural. It was a beautiful observation session well spent with the family. A frame and on top of the fireplace to tell the grandchildren the story of this day. See you so close again in 400 years...

well...so so, thank you, they were my 1st astrophotos and with an hard setup. The important is that it was a nice start and with the conjunction it will be UNFORGETTABLE!! 🪐
