Image of Jupiter taken @ 260x afocally through my 12.5" Dob. Stacked 100 frames and NO TRACKING. First time try.

Noting that the actual visual image presented through my scope is many times better, guess there is no substitute for pure visual bliss of planets through an optimized scope.

Wow! Was it hand-held? Can already see lots of details. Still remembered the view of Jupiter from your Obsession in Bedok Reservoir!

Re: iPhone 5 image of Jupiter
Ha I cheated by using a novagrade universal smart phone adapter coupled to a 7mm nagler eyepiece. Anyway to hold handheld is extremely difficult ... Must be a sniper to do that.
However, with this adapter the phone is rigidly mounted to the scope. I still had to chase the planet looking through the phone as the planet drift across it.
I am surprised and delighted that foc stacking software for mac was able to align to a moving planet. Good that I do not need tracking.

Sigh silly me, I just realized that the emailed video that I used for the image was highly degraded. Attached is a much better photo with the true resolution recorded by the iPhone 5.
