First Light Jupiter

Post by **rcj** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:30 pm

Hi,

Trying to get hands soaked into jovian imaging lately. This is my first tri-color jupiter taken at F12.4 native with the CN212 (seeing was below average, no barlow was used), via the DMK21. Stacks of 1000 frames per channel. It was quite a handful at first to maneuver the manual wheel turning without inducing too much vibrations, and all to be done (three channels) within 90 seconds, before the disk of the planet rotate enough to cause smearing. Taken on the night of 27th at around 2:23AM.

Wow..without barlow yet so much detail. Good cam.
Is this your best focus...?
