Jupiter with a fusion (need advice)

[Mamsoth]

Here is my first image of Jupiter with a fusion webcam and my celestron omni 120 refractor. The reason I've put it up is that I'd love to get some feedback so I can start producing some images that are on a par with the many great images I've seen on sgl. If I know where Im going wrong I can do something about it. This image was taken at f8 as I don't yet own a barlow (i'm ordering one soon though ). It's been through registax (the colour is screwed up on my moitor so it may look a strange colour on other screens).

Thanks for any input (Next time I won't crop the images )

Maybe a bit better focusing ? Did you use a Barlow ?

[Mamsoth]

I didn't use a barlow but only because I haven't got one yet, I'm hoping to order one soon. Will that make a difference to image quality as well as magnifying the image?

Thanks actually pretty good! Certainly better than my first attempts at Jupiter.

Bearing in mind the limitations ie no barlow t'was a good effort

BTW do a search in this site for a tutorial entitled "planetary imaging with a toucam".

Whilst I appreciate you use a different webcam the principle should be fairly similar.

The tutorial put me on the right path, it may be of help.
