17/08/2024 A try a Jupiter.

Seeing wasn't bad, but not great.

Even visually you could tell the air was nasty.

Felt better getting out though. It was cooler with the hurricane pulling Northern air in on top of us.

You need a longer exposure time and/or ISO, gain. It's a bit dim but nice image.

It looks nice for a single frame. Worth taking a video or several images and try stacking them, it should further improve it.

I'm working towards that.

Finally got a Beelink in the observatory working. Got the connections to hook my camera to it too.

It's great just getting out there, isn't it? Not too bad of an image for prime focus, especially considering the conditions.
