Jupiter and Moon 271012

[Fay]

Nothing as good as Duncan's, but first attempt in a couple of years.

SPC 900, IR filter, 6" Mak Cass F12, Captured in Sharpcap, Stacked with Registax.

I had to be quick as Jupiter was heading for the trees. took a while for me to figure out what I was doing, then I realised I had not put the x2 Barlow on & it was difficult to refocus as it kept going off piste. i did a separate stack for the moon. enlarged picture a bit, so bit grainy.

Fay, 

It's not at all bad.  You've got everything working - you just need a night of good seeing to produce a great shot!

Thanks Mark. I know its not very good, but at least I have had a practice of the basics.

Hi Fay, at last someone else is having a go at Jupiter! Good effort.

Can you post your Sharpcap settings, there should be a .txt file with the AVI that you can cut and paste from. I guide on a nearby star so keeping Jupiter in frame was a doddle. Just make sure you don't guide on a moon, Registax can't work out the motion!

[Fay]

oh yes that is the answer, to guide

Nice one Fay
