Haven’t done any planetary imaging this year so decided to capture Jupiter and Saturn after I captured M22 on Wednesday night as conditions were OK. I waited until they were close to the meridian up nice and high overhead and took about 5 or 6 videos each
6”f6 Bintel GSO newt on an EQ6-R Mount
Goto and tracking EQMOD, StellariumScope and Stellarium
Canon 600D with Televue 5 x Powermate
ISO 800
Frame , focus and Capture BYEOS Planetary mode
5 x zoom setting for 1:1 pixel resolution on the Canon
Jupiter 1/50 exposure setting , 30fps , 1500 Avi frames ( 6 video session )
Saturn 1/6 exposure setting , 30fps , 1500 Avi frames ( 5 video session )
Both planets were bobbing around a fair bit but managed to capture enough video to process some sort of image
Stacked in Autostakkert 3
Processed in Registax 6

Cropped and resized both images to 140% so lost sone resolution in the process , should have left them original frame size. Also should have bumped up brightness and contrast a bit too. It’s been over a year since I’ve done and planetary imaging so you have learn all over again !!


Comments welcome

Thanks
