Another backyard imaging in the big city - Planets.

[Vroobel]

Hi,

Apart from the astrophotography of DSOs I also have some plans related to planets. My plans are based on Altair Starvawe 102ED F/11 (1122mm) on the SW EQ5, ZWO ADC and several cameras. This picture of Jupiter was taken on 29th September using the ASI224MC. Now I have a brand new and never tested ASI678MC camera with 2um pixel matching the 102ED F/11, so I don't need any Barlow, but we will see what the future holds.

Respectively from the left: Callisto, Europa and Io.

A fine-looking Jupiter image, some nice detail visible there.

To be honest, it would be better. The ADC often requires opposite order in the light path than the producer suggests. My configuration was: Starwave 102ED F/11 -> Baader Barlow x2.25 -> ZWO ADC -> UV/IR Cut -> ASI224MC, so ratio of the Barlow was unfortunatelly x3.3, that was too much. I checked it later in daylight with photos of distant object. Now, with the ASI678MC I hope to forget about the Barlows.

Before I performed the first picture of Jupiter, I tried it with Saturn. It was much lower (around 19 degrees), so the picture has lower quality. 

Starwave 102ED F/11 + Baader Barlow x2.25 + ZWO ADC + UV/IR Cut + ASI224MC. Ratio of the Barlow is x3.3.
