Jupiter using eyepiece projection and a QHY5
Well I'm definitely in the testing phase!!
I quickly set up the scope tonight to try and fill the QHY5 chip with an image of Jupiter. This time, instead of prime focus, I decided to give eyepiece projection a try and managed to get a much larger image of Jupiter.
As before this image isn't one that will win awards but from what I can see from my initial tests, I may be able to get something decent with this setup providing the seeing improves. Again it was windy and Jupiter was relatively low in the sky - it's a school night after all!!
Also in the attached image is Callisto and Europa's shadow on the face of Jupiter. If anyone can find Europa itself I'd be very grateful...
And one last request - how does using a 10mm eyepiece affect my f ratio when used in an eyepiece projection imaging train?
Cheers,
Mario
