First Jupiter.

[johnh]

SPX350 F13.7, EQ6, DMK21AF, 2xCelestronUltima working at 3x.

Jupiter is above house roof where seeing is a bit dynamic to say the least but I gave it a go and got a bit of detail considering but no GRS or impact scar. Nice to see Jupiter back at last and I can also see Venus and Mars low in the East.

RRGB R=1680 frames GB=900 frames. 23fps 0.24"/pixel.

Thanks, JohnH.

Well done John on your first jupiter, i know you have problems shooting over your house, and this coupled with a jet stream wouldnt help at all. but under those conditions, its still a good capture good colour too.

Having to contend with all those rising thermals I think you have a cracking shot there.

Looks brilliant to me, especially given the circumstances.

Just out of curiosity, how easily does the EQ6 take your SPX350's weight and size?

Thanks all for comments, I am so pleased to see Jupiter back after a few years too low so I cannot complain about the roof top just par for the course I suppose.

Hello Mike, my SPX does dwarf the mount somewhat but the 20kg scope on the mount slews very well and autoguiding with OAG for deep space gives no problems and long fl for planets is very steady. EQ6 is at full payload capacity and I need good polar alignment but no problems so far.

So low and yet you've got a great image!

lovely....

Jupiter always seems to be hugging the treeline or roofs, so any "snatched" image here is ok..

this one is very nice.
