Jupiter and Moon 1st November 2012  23:10
First light with TS 65mm F6.5 quadrulet. I know that the scope has had problems so if it's no good it will go back.
Image details are modified canon 40D with CLS filter, ISO 100, 1/160 Sec, EQ5 pro mount.
Did not have a lot of time as I could see the clouds starting to come over. Didn't even polar align or level the mount.
Quick focus and exposure test 40 images and then it clouded over.

24 Raw images cropped and saved as Tif as RegiStax would not open my Raw images.
Once all the images were stacked, used wavelets and then processed in CS.

Jupiter and Moon zoomed in by some amount, but ignore the distance

Great image - nice and sharp - I can see the bands on Jupiter.  Good idea to stack a few images - I regret that I didn't do the same.
