A Panorama of Jupiter and The Pleiades

[JackW07]

One of my good friends recently started on a project, he plans on taking around 4-5 minutes of exposure time of Jupiter (Through his 11 in Schmidt-Cassegrain) and The Pleiades, he then plans on taking photos of the space in between these objects to create an ultra panorama that include a detailed photo of both Jupiter and The Pleiades. I can't wait to see the results

But everything aside, how many things do you see could go wrong/will be a problem, with this project? He seems to believe this will go perfectly and he will have no problems.

Best,

Jack

Sounds interesting, though he won’t need 4 to 5 hours on Jupiter; a few minutes of hi res/hi frame rate video processed correctly should do the job.

When is he planning to do this? Jupiter is now over 20 degrees from the Pleiades and the separation is widening.

4-5 hours on Jupiter???

If you wish to take in other objects in the same FOV as a planet such as M45, they'll be little detail on the planet in a wide shot as pixel interpretation will average out any detail of the planet surface at such small resolution, taking images like this planets appear little larger than the background stars.

I suspect you mean they'll image Jupiter separately then compare it to its "live" view proximity to M45 in a separate wide angle shot.
