Last night was my first night to have a go at Jupiter for the year. The seeing was terrible and the view through the camera looked like I was moving the focus back and forth and Jupiter was looking like it was made out of jelly. I really wanted to try this Microsoft LifeCam Studio web cam that I had modified but the bad seeing gave it little chance to show its worth. Maybe another night.

I chucked on the Canon 550d after using the web cam to show the difference and despite the terrible conditions the DSLR won out easily.

The DSLR images were created by using eyepiece projection and for the Webcam image, I used a 2.5x Powermate. Both were taken through an 8 inch f5 Newt.
