Help needed urgently

[Gy Stargazer]

Hey guys.

As am typing this it's a live chat during the imaging of jupiter.

I've focused in the planet in question as best as i can.

Yet even though of that i'm still getting a kind of ghostly glow.

I can see the NEB as a small dark band on the image but no other detail.

Using the telescope spec below in my Signature and the SPC900 webcam.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The glow could be due to several reasons Scot. Is your scope dewing up perhaps?. Is your collimation spot on, at f5 it needs to be good.

Are you imaging at the prime focus of the scope?

Bear in mind, you are using a 4.5" objective, so resolution is not going to be great. How does the planet look with a 10mm eyepiece. Is the blur still there.

There is dewing problems on the eyepieces due to the temperature drop. Scope has been out cooling down since 5pm this afternnon with the eyepieces yet it's still happened.

Now i've moved the scope from platform to ground it seems better. Just wondering if it could be due to imaging over an oil refinery

Living out at East Halton and looking over LOR isn't going to help.

LOR isn't a problem when the skies are clear. Gives off very little LP on the high skies

Will have to try to process what i have from the night as my Controller has packed in.

Would be the 2nd time since buying that it's stopped working.
