First shot of Jupiter

[Leeroy]

G'day all.

Well here is my first real effort at getting something on the camera. It's a celestron neximage mounted to my 10" skywatcher Dob.
250 frames run through registacks. Pretty poor but for now i couldn't be happier! :D You can just see Europa begining to transit from the left.

Cheers

Nice first shot Leeroy haha got some good detail there. Did you uuse any barlow lenses with that piccie?http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTkrqrNhQdBdLC-31fVLdWg-UGtHjq03i-LF0kqiYBbpWI8TSfb&t=1

G'day mate..

Actualy yes i did use a 2x Barlow lense. I would like to try a 3x but i think it would be just too dificalt to keep it in the FOV..
I'm working on an equatorial platform and once thats working should make things much easier.

Cheers
