Took my SkyWatcher 14" goto up to John's Hill Reserve in the Dandenongs last night. Very clear, very cold, and also started to get a bit windy for imaging, but at least there weren't any clouds :-)
I have installed FireCapture 2.6 on my Mac laptop, and that performed really well.
After sorting out some focus issues at prime focus, I took some images of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars, and I then used a 2x barlow to take images of Jupiter and Saturn.
Now I have to learn how to process them.
I used SER Player to view the files and export the best section of each capture as a set of jpg images.
I have used WineBottler to create a Registax app, and have used this on my Mac to stack 300 images of Jupiter to create this image.
No adjustments in Photoshop yet.
What could I be doing better?
Thanks, Peter
