Jupiter, Venus, Mars and the Moon

Well, its been a little while since I posted any pictures. This is only a few of them, I forgot to get some from the Laptop where I muck around with photoshop.

The first is Jupiter I took last night.

Following that is a quick and dirty experiment I made with my video camera and tripod to see what a zoomed picture of Jupiter next to Venus would look like. Apparently it has trouble focusing into proper dots.

Next is my second ever Mars shot I took last week or so. I think I am finally getting some surface detail in places.

The next two are just of the moon. I suck at taking full globe pictures. Anyone got any ideas of how to sort of.. bring out more contrast between details? I just finished making an apeture mask as I read it increases contrast for brighter objects. Will test it with the moon when it comes back.

Finally is my first ever picture of Venus. Not very interesting planet. Oh yeah, this Venus and the top Jupiter one was taken using the apeture mask.

Anyway, enjoy. Imaging with a dob is hard work
