Jupiter 24/10/09

[Glider]

Here is my first ever attempt.

Skywatcher 200P on HEQ5 Synscan. Neximage camera. AVI stacked in Registax and bodged in Gimp.

I took Jupiter at 5f/s for 90s at 1/200th with the camera gain turned down so the planet was clear but the moons got lost.

Then I took the moons at the same settings but adjusted the camera gain so they showed up.

I then cut and pasted the 2 together.

The wind was blowing a gale so I had lots of camera shake, at least that's my excuse!

I like it.

Nice first attempt. I like the effect of the moons

I've looked through all the video I took this morning and realised this one also looks OK, as above but used x2 barlow.

My second attempt!

Great 1st/2nd attempt. I am stil to have a go at Jupiter but if they turn out like this then I'll be fairly pleased.

The second is much better. A lot more detail visible, colour and levels look good . Just did an rgb align in Registax (hope you don't mind) Keep working on your focus, even between each sequence, and take lots of avi's if the seeing is good. Jupiter is getting to be much more difficult lately, but still a great target for a short time to come
