Jupiter 19th March - new image scale

Well, I need to go to bed after all this excitement and to be honest, the 5x powermate is the best piece of equipment ever invented ever...ever!!!

Put some tape around the cheapie extension tube so the fit was tighter in the powermate and absolutely loved the extra scale.

Surprised that the image was not washed out through loss of light etc.

Some quick registx run throughs.
The first one is a 10fps optimised colour and 2nd is a 5fps raw colour.

The extension piece is a cheap plastic barlow from a cheap telescope that was in a throw out box at bintel melbourne. I used a holesaw to cut out the central supports. Pictures and measurements will now to go to Steve mogg.

More processing to do later
