Jupiter my first shot on a EQ

Hi All,

It has been a while since I have done some Jupiter imaging. Still mediocre seeing around my home but was a good test.

I am quite happy with the vAgent webcam. 640 x 480 3 x barlow so in all reasonable shot. The EQ platform allowed me to track Jupiter quite well without even setting it up properly. Still have more to do on the mount.
I had taken 1024 x 768 shot and were good with the exception of cutting part of Jupiter off the screen.

3000 total stacked about 600 frame in the final processing using Registax. AVIStack v2 had a few problems processing still investigating.

Not bad for a DOB. Colour are not the best but was a quick process. Nice to get back into it again. Just need decent skies and a remote focuser (another build).

3 images - 3 different processes, enjoy.
