Jupiter 2 Nov - first attempt for quite a while

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

I set up last night for the first time in over a month. Allan G convinced me to have a go at Jupiter and I'm pleased I did as the seeing was very good early on up here. It's been a long time since I fired up the Neximage with the 5x Powermate but it all came together for a change. The Bahtinov mask really helped with the focusing and I'm quite pleased with this result despite the strange angle.

Comments welcome.

Very nice image Pete. You must be pleased. sharp with great colors.
What is your setup?

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

Thanks David. This was taken through the 10" Newt using a 5x Powermate and Neximage webcam. The mount is an EQ6.

That's a cracker - heaps of detail.

Thanks Adam and Trevor. It is the first reasonable image of Jupiter I've managed to get with that gear and has renewed my interest in planetary imaging.
