Jupiter with Uranus beside and in the same deep field

[FranckiM06]

Hello every body,

This night, I was very happy :happy6:to get this image with my 40D on the TSA 120 ! The exposure is around 20s and you could see that I got 3 moons around Uranus:

Now, Jupiter in IR-cut and the Barlow x2:

After that, Jupiter with the Powermate x4 and the red filtre:

Superb . How was the 40D mounted and what exposure for the main shots in the thread?

[FranckiM06]

Thank you. The exposure of this shot was 20s and the 40d were installed just on the refractor with out any Barlow. The focale of my refractor is 900mm.

Hmmmm, that's interesting. I have a 130mm reflector. When I remove the eyepiece, rack the focus right in and hand hold my Canon 5D in front of it, I can't get focus at any distance. Am I doing something wrong or are some scope "just like that" ???

[FranckiM06]

No, but I think the Takahashi refractor TSA 120 have long back focus, so it is very useful and interresting to get anything in there.

That's an interesting question. I was wondering too. Cribbing directly from Stellarium, my vote is for the disk with the 3 or 4 very close neighbours/ Am I right?

[FranckiM06]

Yes Martyn.

[Sam]

excellent capture, both the Jupiter shots and the Jupiter + Uranus.
