Beautiful capture Stuart...may I ask what settings you're using? I have the same cam, just haven't had much practice with Jupiter being disappointingly low. Mars is up next
Thanks! Oh well, I'd still take Jup at 30.5 over Saturn at 20. I'm using fairly low gain with the QHY as it gets pretty noisy over 50% for Jupiter with 3 min captures and always leave gamma at default. Frame rates are usually 60-70fps with the colour cam and 80-90 with the mono.

I've not tried Mars yet so thats new ground for me with the QHY as I was using the DFK last time Mars was on show.
