Jupiter 22/03/05

This image was taken on the 22/03/05 while Jupiter was still low in the sky.


I used a Meade ETX105-EC with a x2 barlow and a Philips ToUcam. I stacked a 15 sec video in Registax and used Photoshop to tweak the image.

well that pretty much matches my efforts with a telescope with several times the resolving power! Excellent work. Next steps, can you get the moons at the same time without burning the planet out, or how about getting an image of the GRS, or even make an animation of the rotation. Have a look at the gallery off of the main site.

Hi,

Just one thing for Jupiter you can go upto 90 seconds before the rotation of the planet causes a problem so if you want better results try to go for a longer exposure.  

Also when I used the ETX125 I borrowed from the society I did notice the mount was wobbly a little so I took a whole bunch of AVI's and one or two came out ok, see the example below, I've seen 105 images as good as this if not better: -
