Jupiter 16th August

Ok not as good as my best, but been working on my collimation and on a previous night screwed it up and gave up out of frustration. Today I did a quick diy Artificial star (led torch plus foil paper with needle hole) and worked on my collimation. After several iterations finally got something I was happy with and seemed ok with the camera , Barlow and diagonal in place on the C8.

Seeing did not seem great based on weather charts but thought Id give my fav planet a go Jupiter. Not as good as my earlier best but happy with it.
