The Flea3 is certainly a most competent tool for planetary imaging Mark. I look forward to when they put it out as USB 3.0.

Well, it looks like you have challenged the laws of physics and won! A beautiful set of images and animations that shows your new telescope can indeed tame the jet stream.

A lot of hard work goes into producing such high quality material, thanks for the lovely views!

Cheers

Thanks very much Dennis, I think the image stabilized just frequently enough to grab enough good frames to make the image.

Having said all this, the images look good Trev. Any Jupiter images? I am waiting patiently for a night of good seeing to get out again. Perhaps tonight.
Thanks Paul, your Solar imaging sounds a lot like it was for me last night. Not so much flag waving, but a very high frequency flutter that would come and go. When it did settle the live feed looked really nice.

I was able to get enough good frames to be able to stack between 1000 & 1300 frames per channel, that said, the majority of the frames that I threw away looked pretty crook.

I thought it may have been a good night as it had been clear all day and the sky was a really nice deep blue and there was not a breath of wind.

As for Jup, my window of opportunity for Saturn is closing and I really do want to put all of my efforts into it. When I have finished with Saturn I will get into Jupiter.
