Jupiter 25/11/23

[Les Ewan]

Viewing conditions for Jupiter went beyond being excellent they were exquisite.(Cant say that too often)!

Fine detail normally only seen fleetingly in the blur were interrupted without a quiver. Annoyingly the cloud moved in before midnight. The Moons in the image are(l to r) Io-Jupiter-Europa-Ganymede.

This image was taken around 23:30 GMT with a driven Skywatcher 400P 16" f4.8 Dob.The camera was a Nikon 3200DSLR coupled to a 21mm Celestron Duo plossl and Celestron X2Barlow.

Camera settings were 1/100 sec exposure at 800ISO.

That’s a nice image, I was out around an hour earlier and although the Moon was surrounded by a halo of mist the seeing was VERY stable 🙂

Wow, that's a nice prime-focus shot! Imagine the quality you would get with one of those nifty ASI cameras!
