Jupiter 2008/10/14 (BNE)

Hi all,

This is my 5th imaging session with my Dob so far, and hopefully my last! The mount is suffering from a major case of stictionitus and driving me up the wall!! About to buy an EQ6 (non-goto) to lower my blood pressure.

Anyway, images captured at 8:23pm, Jupiter at 48 degrees. Seeing not very special. Configuration:
  • 200mm, f/6 Newtonian
  • SPC900NC + UV/IR filter
  • 2x Barlow
  • Camera Settings:
    • Brightness: 50%
    • Gamma: 0%
    • Gain: 22%
    • Shutter: 1/33
    • Framerate: 10fps
  • 735 frames grabbed, 327 discarded, roughly 250 used in final stack
  • Processed in ppmcentre, Registax and GIMP
Not as good as my very first session, but worth posting/documenting I think.

If anyone has any advice on the EQ6 before I order, better be quick
