My first Jupiter with the ToUcam. Taken at about 2am from San Diego. Jupiter was at about 40 degrees altitude, but only a few degrees above the neighbors house. At one point it dimmed as it passed over the corner. I will pick a better place to image next time.

Detail:
10" SCT, 2x Barlow, UV/IR block, Alt/Az
Philips ToUCam Pro II
1/25s 120s @ 10fps
Registax & MS digital image suite

Hi Peter -

Really nice detail! The color is shifted to much toward blue, but a very fine image.

Hello Peter,

Nice image. You captured the Z spot very well! Can you adjust levels to brighten the image.

BTW where in San Diego are you located? Will be there on the 18th!

Regards,
Chris
