moon and jupiter 22nd Aug

[Tony Leece]

Again the SW 200p, undriven eq5 and canon 300D, with 2x barlow.
Moon 1/200 sec @ 800 iso
Also Jupiter (for a bit of fun as i haven't got the webcam running yet)
1/30 sec also @800 iso
Played around with brightness and contrast. Also blew up the tiny, tiny image of jupiter. Amazed myself that i got any detail at all here with a single shot.
I'm having fun anyway:D:D
Again, any tips or comments are very welcome folks
Thanks for looking

Great moon shot!
Is that the GRS in the middle of Jupiter? Fantastic! :thumbsup:
The moons look good so your focus must be on the money.

Thanks Evan.
not sure about the GRS i only used eyepieces that night to centre Jupiter.
Focussing has always been a bugbear for me and my sausage fingers and gobbly mount :D

Hi Tony
You are doing well and you can be very proud of your images.
Personally I would turn the brightness down a little for the Moon but it may just be appearing a little bright on my monitor.
You should have a go at stacking...the software is free just go to Deep Sky Stacker site and download and next time take a few shots and stack them and that will give you a kick I bet.
Thank for sharing and please do some more soon.
