[Saturn & Jupiter] Testing planetary imaging with the ASI120MM Mini

[soundwave]

I decided to try and see how the ASI120MM Mini that I bought to guide my SkyGuider Pro can perform photographing planets with my SkyWatcher 250px Manual Dob.

• ASI120MM Mini
• SkyWatcher 250px Manual Dob (10")
• 2X Barlow

The planets were a bit low in the sky, and I'm not sure I managed to get perfect focus, but it's close enough

I recorded videos of the planets drifting from one corner or the frame to the other, and then aligned in PiPP, stacked in AutoStakkert and processed in Registax.

Thanks for viewing.

Thats a great result from the little 120mm and the SW250 of coarse.

Lovely images mate, as well as very interesting to me as I plan on doing exactly the same thing this weekend (but with an XT8 rather than an XT10)

Thanks for posting.

 

Cheers
