Well last night was the first time in a long while that I was able to get the scope out, but high cloud and a decent breeze put paid to any attempt at a DSO.
So I decided to image Jupiter, which I haven't done for a long while. As with my previous images of Saturn I turned to my trusty QHY5 and a 2X Barlow for the attached image.
Watching the avi capture on my laptop was akin to watching a violent game of Pong, with Jupiter bouncing all over the place! However after stacking the best 300 frames in Registax6 I ended up with an image that I'm fairly happy with. It's not going to set the world on fire but it is my best attempt to date!
Thanks for your kind thoughts regarding my image of Jupiter. The more I look at this image the happier I am with it and the detail I did manage to get. Focusing was a real problem due to the atmospherics so I was glad to get anything at all!!
