I couldn't find Uranus so here's Jupiter

[legion48]

I intended to look for and image Uranus tonight, but it got too misty. I did get a quick go at Jupiter earlier on in the evening though.

very nice,

how do you do eyepiece projection though an eyepiece ?

never understood how this is done.

[legion48]

Lens out of webcam, eyepiece of choice in scope, webcam attached to eyepiece with appropriate adapter. That's it.

You have some amazing detail here, well done.

what is the advantage of using this method as opposed to using just a webcam ?

does it give you a bigger field of view ?

I do like that one!

Quite the opposite. It gives increased magnification, so a larger image scale and therefore a reduced field of view. I reckon ep projection with my 10mm ep is something like using a 4.5 barlow but with less light loss than with a barlow.

Interesting, I really ought to try that out one night.
