moon and jupiter 22nd Aug

[Tony Leece]

Again the SW 200p, undriven eq5 and canon 300D, with 2x barlow.
Moon 1/200 sec @ 800 iso
Also Jupiter (for a bit of fun as i haven't got the webcam running yet)
1/30 sec also @800 iso
Played around with brightness and contrast. Also blew up the tiny, tiny image of jupiter. Amazed myself that i got any detail at all here with a single shot.
I'm having fun anyway
Again, any tips or comments are very welcome folks
Thanks for looking

Great moon shot!
Is that the GRS in the middle of Jupiter? Fantastic!
The moons look good so your focus must be on the money.

Thanks Evan.
not sure about the GRS i only used eyepieces that night to centre Jupiter.
Focussing has always been a bugbear for me and my sausage fingers and gobbly mount

Hi Tony
You are doing well and you can be very proud of your images.
Personally I would turn the brightness down a little for the Moon but it may just be appearing a little bright on my monitor.
You should have a go at stacking...the software is free just go to Deep Sky Stacker site and download and next time take a few shots and stack them and that will give you a kick I bet.
Thank for sharing and please do some more soon.
