c8 and jupiter

[paul71]

Hi folks been a while since I last posted an image so last night
I got my old celestron c8 sct out and had a go at Jupiter.
Seeing was not that great Jupiter was only at about 30 degrees above horizon but I was still pleased at the little bit of detail that I managed to capture.
1500 frames with zwoasi120mc,c8 telescope,neq6pro mount,2 power barlow.
Any thoughts and advice would be great.

That is a great image- I wish I could get something like that with my LX90 8". What type of Barlow are you using?

Cheers,
Stacy.

Far out, thats a qualty juup for a C8 in my books Paul, Nice going ! !
Decent image scale for 4mtr F/L - has it been size increased ? Them zwoasi120mc seem the ducks nuts ?

Hi bob thanks for the positive comments,i cant wait to get some nice seeing conditions and for Jupiter to be higher in the sky so I can see what
the little C8 can really do!.
I have reprocessed my Jupiter data a little and increased the scale a tad what do you guys think?.
Yes the asi120mc is a fine little camera this is my first image ive captured
with it since I bought it cheers.
