Jupiter 18th Oct in Poor Seeing

[Stu Ward]

Took these on the evening of the 18th.
I reckon the seeing was 1/10. Jupiter was bouncing all over the place really.

2 methods of capture.
Image with the 2 moons Europa and Ganymede were taken with my Canon 550D in Movie mode
Image of Jupiter alone was taken with a Philips SPC900NC webcam and a 2X Barlow.

Both on a 12" Skywatcher Goto Dob

Looking forward to another go with my new 5X Powermate when the sky settles down a bit

Hey Graeme. Thanks for the comments.
Regarding the 12" dob. There was one the same as mine on the classifieds. Don't think it has sold.

A creditable job there Stu, Jupiter has been a frustrating target for much of this apparition.

Cheers

Not too bad Stu. How do you find the mount for tracking?

[Stu Ward]

It tracks really well.
Even with the 5X Powermate, you can keep Jupiter around the reticle on WX Astrocapture
