Oh well, so much for that. As an experiment in futility, I plugged in the x2 Barlow and saw Jupiter dissolved into a sea of mushy jelly. Even with the DBK at Prime Focus the image isn’t that much better. However, ‘cos I can, I have fired up K3CCDTools (as it has an interval timer) and set the DBK to take 90 sec AVI’s every 5 mins for 30 intervals.
Nothing will come of it, other than to show the gear will work (hopefully) and the external hard drive will cope with the volume of data and the Tak mount might, just might, keep Jupes in the FOV.
Meanwhile, Stuart Little, a cuddle and a cup of tea seem to be the only alternatives to sitting outside, freezing, eyeballing the Notebook whilst watching the Jovian funky jelly horror show.
Cheers
