Saturn

Evening Everyone.

Below is my image of Saturn from tonight in Brisbane. Heavy dew but a nice night for transparency and steady imaging.
Image taken using a C9.25", 3x Barlow, DBK21, 4000 frame, AS2, Registax with custom Saturn scheme.

Thanks for looking

Nice one Carl I had a quick squint visually and it was looking pretty special last night.

Thanks, I was amazed last night I have had my scopes a few years now and I had never been able to see the division with such clarity with a 3x Barlow visually so I tried my hand with the camera and I am very happy. It looks the same tonight but I need to purchase a Televue to do any better I think.

I like that Shot and being a Beginner I'm at that stage of wondering what I need to buy for my CPC 800 -#11073 Scope to get pics like that and also of deep space. I have bought a Celestron TD35 Webcam type arrangement which was told by a specific company it would be able to do these types of things. I have started on the moon and have ok shots of it but when I goto planets nothing appears in the viewer. I do try to get the planet central and move the mount around fractional and turn the gain right up to try to pick the planet up but nothing shows up . I hope I am in the right section to discuss about this.

Very nice image, with good details and colors. Very sharp. Congratulaltions.

GAryA, as beginner you may use an eyepiece around 20 mm or more to centralize the planet. After done it, use an eyepice around 6 mm to better adjust the centralization. After done, use your camera.

Gary, Jorge has the right idea. First though, make sure your telescope is aligned. Best to do the alignment in the region of sky where the target is. Then GOTO your target, check that it is central in the field of your wide-field lens, then swap to your high mag. lens to ensure the view. (What lenses do you have?)Then pop on your camera and all should be fine. Just don't knock anything during the change. You have a good scope which should give you some great results.
