While doing the moon eclipse shots on Sunday night, I decided to try a quick afocal shot or two of Jupiter.
I can tell you, I don't miss doing it that way! The webcam with a dob, as frustrating as that can be, is better and easier than afocal (for me at least).
This shot is the result of 3 images stacked in registax, only very mild wavelets.. no other processing.
- 10" dob with 9mm GSO plossl
- Afocal Sony DSCP100 on a fixed camera tripod pointing into the eyepiece
- ISO400, 1/80s shutter, f/2.5
I wouldn't call it a good image, it was really just an experiment
I'll stick to webcam I think
