Jupiter
The astrophotography has been keeping me occupied lately. This
is my first attempt at planetary imaging. Lots to learn, I know. Don't see much astrophotography here so thought I'd share. Taken with a 8" f/10 scope with a 2.5x powermate (like a teleconvertor) giving it an equivalent focal length of around 5000mm. Camera was a DBK21 CCD camera. The dark spot is the shadow of one of the moons, and you can just make out the Great Red Spot at the top. http://piggo.com/~troy/photos/2009/2...er091023_1.jpg All up I'm pretty happy with it. Suspect the scope needs some tweaking of the collimation which should give a sharper image. Will have to try that next time, haven't done it before. -- Troy Piggins
