Well the pic was taken on Sat night which I thought wasnt the greatest night Ive see to use a telescope. I hear plenty of ppl saying that if the seeing conditions arent the greatest it can affect the shot some what in detail how much I have yet to experience. What I need to now is what are the most important thing in getting a good shot. The telescope is a sct and from what I could tell it was well collimated that night. The tracking was good. The thing is I saw a photo the other day taken with a f10 sct of the same size using the manual focus on the back of the ota and the results where almost as good as Ive seen in this site. I want the band details to come out a little more but there just not there. Its got my mind in a twist I even read your aticles Mike on planetary imaging.
! plz
My scope is a 10" f/8 sct.
