Hi all, after imaging in Chameleon on Friday night I noticed Jupiter had risen high, so put in a 5x Bintel barlow and the ASI cam into the main scope focuser. Could see the GRS so did a short imaging run. I did find that one must aquire images in 16 bit not 8 bit. Was saved as .SER file, then put into Autostakkert then wavelets in Registax, image taken Friday evening from my backyard in Wallsend. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian

I'm just looking at doing some of this myself.

If my calculations are correct that's an effective focal length of around 7m? Can you remember what sort of frame rates you were getting?

Best
