Took these awhile ago so figured I might as well post
Been using the Nikon D90’s liveview on the back of the camera to view Jupiter and I think I have been able to get it pretty close to visual (although as I have never done a swap to compare I could be wrong – should do that at some stage I guess).
Equipment used was D90 attached to 12” Newt with 2x Barlow and 5x powermate.
When I grab the frames from the avi’s they seem really small but anyway here was a raw stack and then one processed. Aside from the fact it is so small pretty happy with the result given the D90 is probably not the most ideal kit for trying to do planetary.
Doesn’t bother me Clayton – not much to work with however
Actually I am in mixed mind of post processing which is why I posted both pics. The second is pretty much how I “saw” it on the LCD so in my mind a more accurate representation. The processed image looks nicer sure but…..well that’s not how I “saw” it. Would love to try a more appropriate camera (bit disappointed with the sensitivity of the D90 – guess I just thought it would at least pickup what I saw in real-time) but unless some kind Brissy iceinspacer wants to do a loaner I guess might be awhile.
Been ages since I got out there so should make the effort this weekend
