Afocal Jupiter and accidental shadow transit
I was practising the Afocal Method on Jupiter tonght in pretty poor seeing, when I noticed a shadow transit so I kept on "clicking away "
I tried a new Samsung compact camera instead of my usual Canon.
I think the Canon has the edge over this one, but time will tell.
I also used an afocal bracket which attaches top the eyepiece to hold the camera steady.
My 10 inch LX200 through 20 mm eyepiece 1/2 digital zoom on the camera and a little processing to drop the brightness down a bit.
I'll keep practising to see how far I can go with this method in good seeing perhaps.
Thx for looking.
Geoffro.
