Jupiter July 8

Seeing last night was it's usual 3-3.5/10

Still, couldn't help getting out there with the 9.25 for a bit of a go.

This is with the Toucam 840k running colour optimised mode.

Taken around 8.30pm. 10fps, 1/33sec, 60% gain, 40%gamma, brightness 35%.

Been having some shocking problems with the onions lately. Just appeared out of nowhere, without our routine changing at all

So pushed gain and gamma to try and blow 'em away.

Image scale a little small, so will be ordering a 3x TV Barlow in the next week or so. Won't help much with Joops apparition nearly done and dusted. Will be ready though for Saturn.... hopefully!

Might also buy an extension tube or 2.

Any recommendations which tubes (length) and where to buy for my set-up?

Comments/criticism most welcome. It all helps

Thanks
