Filter Suggestions
Hello everyone,
Okay, so the clouds have finally disappeared and I have been able to get out there and have another crack at this astrophotography game.
TELESCOPE - Celestron Nexstar 4GT (4" focal length = 1325mm)
CAMERA - Philips SPC900NC with long exposure mod + 2x Barlow (Bintel)
SOFTWARE - wxAstroCapture & Sharpcap
I have almost sorted out my polar alignment (about 80% there, object slowly drifts).
However, I can not get a clear video of Saturn.
I don't get too much detail (no Cassini division, no cloud bands).
I get a fair amount of detail using a 9mm ep + 2x Barlow (bintel).
Is there a filter I can get to help improve the image?
Should I use a better Barlow? Like a TeleVue.
Am I pushing past the limit of the scope?
Would I be using the wrong settings?
Or am I just being impatient?
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
If you need any more info to help me, I will answer any questions.
Cheers
TWIGGY
