Tips on progress please.
Since my first Jupiter imaging session approx 2 weeks ago, I've managed two other sessions. I need a better mount, my EQ5 is a joke, but probably won't improve my picture, just the ease of taking it. I'm now using a 2.5x ED Barlow (suggestion from Birdy). If I'm very careful and stay relaxed, I can get 120 seconds out of my EQ5 (1200frames) before my nerves pop. The motors are murder to control via a rather moody control box. RA is too slow. I guess the "hail damage" on far right of the image is indicative of focus not being spot-on, I'm cutting a Bhatinov this arvo. And I really need to spend some time with Registax, I've been fumbling up till now.
Are there any bits of advice to keep my learning curve steep?
