First image this year - Jupiter 31 Aug

[mightymonoped]

Lots of experiments today..

getting my ED80 set up for imaging..trying to make a dodgy had-controller work with the EQ5 motors.. capturing the image with a ToUcam using a Windows virtual pc on a Macbook Pro...stacking in Registax 5 for the first time....

..anyway, I was pleased to get anything considering how long it is since I've done any imaging

ED80, TAL 3x barlow on an EQ5 using a standard ToUcam 840, approx 300/1100 frames

Nice shot

Amazing for an 80

Have you tried Astro II DC on your mac rather than a Win sim??

It has driver support for most webcams.

Fantastic result from the 80 & EQ5, beautiful detail and colour, well done.

I think it only handles Firewire cameras though?

I'm hoping these look a little better than the ones posted earlier.

The latest images look a little too bright on my monitor but it could be just me! Great shots from the 80mm and well done for getting out there at last.

The Later Images look better to me.

Very nice

Very, very nice Tony. I would be real chuffed if they were mine. Thanks for sharing.

[mightymonoped]

Thanks for your kind comments all. It's nice to be back at it again..even if my motor drives are driving me round the bend at the moment:)
