Hi all
Just thought I'd share my first pics. My scope is a Celestron Astromaster 70eq. Camera, Phillips SPC900. Prime focus.
The image of the moon is actually a painstakingly comprised mosaic of about 8 or 9 seperate images. I don't have a focal reducer but i'm happy with the result since it is more detailed this way anyway and it's hard to see the individual tiles.
Jupiter was taken with a 2X barlow and stacked, probably under 100 frames sampled. Having never used registax before I dont know if the resulting image could be improved much, I basically accepted all defaults and stacked. The blue glow around the edges is a result of me messing with hue and saturation in PS afterwards, but by 3am that looked pretty good to me so that's the way it stayed.
Just thought I'd share.
