[helioz (Erwin)]

Peter,
your focuser mod looks interesting - does it give you a significant improvement?
I was thinking along the lines of fitting a small geared motor to the focuser, but after last night's session I decided an RA motor drive is more important.

I have attached images of Jupiter taken last night. As you can see, I either get the bands on Jupiter and no moons, or the moons and Jupiter overexposed. Looking at your earlier images, taken with IR filter, the moons are still not visible. I would think that the problem is one of contrast ratio between Jupiter and its moons and to get both of them on one picture would need some photo shopping or stacking images with and without moons.

The first pic is taken in colour with a 2 x barlow, the other two with primary focus in BW.
