Last night was my first chance to play with my new toy. A Meade LPI.
I've not used one before, so there was a little bit of trial and error with the capture settings.
I used the auto combine method, which is the default setting, but I can see that to get something special out of this camera, I'll have to save as individual frames so I can pick and choose the images to use for stacking.
The seeing was atrocious last night, so I didn't even bother turning the scope to Jupiter. (the moon looked as if it were belly dancing, imagine how Jupiter was
)
Anyway, this is the pick of the lot. I put it through PaintShopPro8. Applied the "clarify" filter and a touch of USM.
Scope - ed80
Mount - Mini Tower
