My second attempt at Jupiter.

I will be getting a Barlow this week so yippee. I will probably get a 2.5 x then down the track a 4 or 5 x for those times of excellent seeing. Plus the avi approach will help in this regard.

The scope itself is great for visual astronomy. Be it in need of near constant collimation. As I move it in and outside it get a bit roughed up.

As it turns out I can now focus my CCD camera being a DMK41 it has a much short focal point than my DSLR. I tried an Orion Solar System Colour imager and while it was fine the DMK 41 seems much better and has far more manual control.

The CCD camera seems better suited for astrophotography than my DSLR so I will call this one a win
