Hi Guys,
Mike has kindly asked me to join in the fun posting planetary images here, so I thought I'd start with a Jupiter image from last weekend.
I have a home-made 10" newtonian, mirror made by Mark Suchting in Sydney. Focusser is a JMI DX1-M and the mount is a Losmandy G-11.
Large temperature swings between day and night here in Canberra mean that I had to build a peltier cooler to help cool the mirror down fast enough to get it at equilibrium by 4am.
I used a unibrain fire-i monochrome firewire camera @ 15fps and colour filters to capture about 600 frames each in red,green,blue and then processed them in Registax and Astra Image to get this result.
