First ever image, as promised! Jupiter

[Scubadude]

Foolishly but as promised here- http://stargazerslounge.com/astro-lounge/113699-philips-spc880nc-now-21.html#post1643894

My first humble attempt with the newly flashed Philips web cam on my humble Tal 1m, not ideal conditions, rather windy and some scudding cloud.

May have over processed it but here it is.... (Used Craterlet and Registax)

(possibly upside down too )

Hadn't intended so much magnification but couldn't focus the cam without the barlow confusingly, still- its a start.

Great J image Ben got the bands & nice detail too

Really nice image, I am waiting for some decent skies to give my SPC880 (flashed to SPC900) a go. I would be delighted if I could get something close to that with my SW150P

That's a great first attempt especially with the bad seeing here in the UK, well at least here in Worcestershire.

Onwards and upwards as they say Ben

Cheers Folks!

Clearly lots to learn, I suspect I can improve the image above by making further attempts to stack, optimise and tune the image once i have a better idea what I'm doing :-)

Certainly have to hand it to all the great engineers who wrote the various bits of freeware I've downloaded to do this, some of it is really well done and all of it very powerful.

I also captured some footage of the moon but couldn't work out how to clean that up, it didn't seem to process as well as the Jupiter footage.

Hi Ben, good first attempt. This imaging lark gets us all hooked at some point.

A year on and I'm embarrased to admit how few times I've managed to get the scope out

Anyway, thought I'd post up this recent pic.

Not sure its any better than the first one but I think there is abit more detail.
