My first ever reasonable views of Jupiter...

[Nikolai De Silva]

Hello,

I have a 130p reflector and a homemade astro imager🙃 (a 720×1280 webcam). These are my first ever reasonable images taken and I'm satisfied with these for now. Taken with a 130mm f5 scope, and a 5x Barlow.

Looking to improve these and any ideas are appreciated! 

And also spotted this! The Moon is nearing the end!!!😱😫😂

I just closed the aperture half from a board to get the bands visible🙂

Can you reduce the exposure/ gain?

If you're taking video then have a go with astrostakkert with one of your videos, Keep the video short enough so the whole planet is included start to finish

I can't reduce exposure from the camera (USBcamera app). So reduced the exposure in editing (Google photos).

We have an android tablet. Astrostakkert is a software, and I think its not supported for phones. 

Any app or something supported for this?
