DMK Jupiter 2x & 3x from Broken Hill

Hi All,
Mike, you were right about the dust on my DMK CCD. Couldn't see anything on it visually but still had the same pattern of spots with the CCD in my 3x barlow that were on the image I posted through my 2x barlow.

Judging by these images I have removed the dust.

These two images are with my 16" F4.5 Newt and are through my 2x and 3x barlows.

Judging by the increase in image scale a 5x barlow would produce an image to large to fit on the DMK chip.

Seeing was good early but dropped off later in the night.
Still really experimenting with Jupiter, used a lot more gain tonight and maintained my histogram at about 220.

Regards
Trevor
