First shot of Jupiter

[Leeroy (Lee)]

G'day all.

Well here is my first real effort at getting something on the camera. It's a celestron neximage mounted to my 10" skywatcher Dob.
250 frames run through registacks. Pretty poor but for now i couldn't be happier! You can just see Europa begining to transit from the left.

Cheers
Lee

G'day mate..

Actualy yes i did use a 2x Barlow lense. I would like to try a 3x but i think it would be just too dificalt to keep it in the FOV..
I'm working on an equatorial platform and once thats working should make things much easier.

Cheers
Lee
