Hi all,
While I was checking over the old BAS 10" on Friday night, getting it ready for Mt Coot-tha Public Field Night Saturday, I had a go at capturing Jupiter with my iPhone. I used the video as there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the photograph exposure. I have one app that allows longer exposure but it just multiplies all signals and bins. So basically useless.
But in the first video I took, as Jupiter went out of view, there is one frame that was perfect! This has turned out better than photos I took back when film was in and it was so much easier and instant! You can even see all the moons (I have just grabbed the frame and only increased the contrast around Ganymede to make it easier to see). If Jupiter wasn't so close to the edge you would see Callisto way off to the right.
Astrophotography has come such a long way to make it so accessible to beginners and the public!
