First attempt on Jupiter with my ETX!

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

First attempt on Jupiter with my ETX!

Post by jiahao1986 »

Hi folks,

On April 28th, I and my friend managed to give our first attempt on imaging Jupiter with my ETX125 PE. The atmospheric condition was good so the image obtained is quite satisfactory to me~~~

Information about the image is given on it.~~~
