First Jupiter

[Ingo]

This is the first time I've been outside late enough to take a peek at Jupiter. It was quite amazing. I saw Jupiter pretty clearly, but barely any detail, but the most amazing thing, was the 4 moons I saw. Unfortunately I was unable to get a "HDR" of Jupiter and the moons because of my crap equipment setup.

Here's the image:

Shot though Meade NGC60TC (:lol:) 25mm+2x Barlow, Nikon 28-80mm Reversal Mount on Nikon D50.

It's about 45 frames stacked in registax. I don't know how I stacked it, or if I did it right, but it did bring some detail out.

If anybody could help me stack, or improve my image, post that you could and I'll upload you the 45 original uncompressed JPEG files from my camera. If I can get that little detail, I'm sure somebody here could make it look crazy good :lol:

(The Originals don't have too much detail, but some of the originals probably had more detail than the final stacked image, so I didn't do something right)

Thats a good start Ingo, you have captured some detail in the image.
My first Jupiter was a washed out white ball with some little white dots next to it. I think you have done quite well.

Cheers

you have banding! ;)

what else do you want?

can yuo put a more powerful eyepiece in?

[Ingo]

I only have a 9mm and a 25mm, the 9mm eyehole is too small for my reversal lens.

[ving]

oh bugger...
(what is a reversal lens?)

[Ingo]

Reversed Digital SLR lens. Good for macro, and allows me to shoot through my eyepiece for the time being.
