Hi,

Here's a photo taken afocally through an 8" dob using a Canon Ixus70. I don't seem to be getting any definition on the planet itself - either when viewing or photographing and wonder whether it might just be a collimating problem.

It's frustrating knowing that now is the time to be viewing Jupiter is all it's glory and seeing the amazing results you guys have been getting.

I'm sure part of the problem is that the exposure settings available on the camera just don't give me the scope for much manipulation but can that be the whole problem?

On a lighter note, here's a long exposure from my trusty Minolta SLR which I was rapt with!

cheers,

Niko
