Jupiter Aug 31 GRS and moon 3x Barlow

[Space Cowboy]

Finally got the GRS in full view! Very low Alt barely 20 deg at 11ish last night, seeing was surprisingly stable. Done this with 2 skywatcher barlows stacked but one has lens removed to give a 2x and 1.5x = 3x

2 images below at 100% and 150%. Scope skymax 127

Very nice Stuart! Certainly plenty of detail.

That's a great pair SC !!

Cheers guys! I never expected so much detail at such a low altitude, was only going to experiment with some new settings. Forgot to mention this was a stack of 800 from 1000 taken at 10fps with Craterlet using SPC900NC. Next time will try 4x Barlow but I think that is nose bleed territory with a 127 aperture!

Cheers James! Higher gain setting has made a big difference.
