Jupiter, GRS + shadow (19/07)

iceman (Mike) · #1 20-07-2005, 08:56 AM

Finally braved the cold last night to do some imaging of Jupiter and the moon, as there was a small break in the jetstream.

Here's the Jupiter efforts, not my best but the seeing was only 5.5/10.

Will process the moon shots later.

- 10" dob on EQ platform, with ToUcam @ 5fps
- 3x barlow @ 3750mm FL
- Processed in registax and astraimage.

The shadow is from the moon Europa which had just transitted, and the GRS is setting. I don't like that Jupiter is getting smaller and smaller

Thanks

Great shots mike.....can you give us any tips to the setting programs you used for these shots..

Thanks guys.

Tony, the settings were (pretty much the same as always):
Gamma: 0
Brightness: default (50)
Shutter: 1/33 (although I meant to use 1/25)
Gain: 10
I have auto white balance checked for about 10-20 seconds and then turn it off.

I will give you the link of my one and only Jupiter avi and a moon avi....I didn't use anywhere near the seting you did Mike with the toucam but give it a go...let me know what you think.

My Jupiter turned out terrible.
