Jupiter from 3rd
Turned out to be too windy for my little Nexstar to cope Saturday night so I put the webcam into the dob to try my luck. Can't get focus with the webcam alone but with the 3x barlow I can. After playing around on the moon to my surprise I managed to capture enough frames of Juptier with real manual tracking to produce this image. It was a bit frantic moving from the scope to the laptop and back trying to keep things going. It's enough to make me think I should look at how to do this with the 10" more seriously.
