Jupiter through DSLR
I took my telescope out last night with the goal of taking my first "real" image of Jupiter.
I have previously taken single exposure pictures of Jupiter, but I was keen to try the "webcam" type approach (with a DSLR instead of a webcam).
I am as chuffed as a pig in mud with the results. There is some nice detail and you can see Io in the bottom right hand side of the image.
This is definately a technique that I will try again.
