Hi all
last night with calm skies and the big high sitting over us last night I went for doubling the FL of my 10 inch to 2800mm with a 2x barlow and my unmodded 600Dcamera with its smaller pixels, for 2 small but bright planetaries

Ghost of Jupiter, 5x5 mins
Blue Planetary 7x2 mins, the first time Ive ever gotten mottled detail in the Blue Planetary, it has a very high surface brightness, and looks to be vividly blue to the eye in a scope
Both images off axis hand guided!

Nice :) " Both images off axis hand guided! " i thought that's what computers were for :) Big effort there.

Hi Scott,

Impressive image, nice resolution and hand guided too!!

Don't think my f/4 astrograph would be up for this.

Cheers,

Justin.
