Jupiter 3.15.04

Tried the webcam on my dob last night in fair to good seeing. I am shooting at F9, 4500mm fl and am looking to get better detail. Ironically, I could see finer detail with my eye using about 300X, I was thinking of getting a 4X powermate which would give me 20" @ F18 or about 9000mm fl, would that do the trick? Thanks for looking.....

20" Night Sky dob @ F9, Gain 0, Gamma 0, Brightness 20%, 1/50 sec. @ 10 fps.

Vincent,

Is it hand guided? If so, I'm truly impressed!! That's a heck of a nice image from a Dob.

Keep it up!!

That's a nice image. I would think your 20" could handle more image scale when the seeing supports it. I posted an ad for my 4X powermate today on AM - feel free to call or email if you are interested.

Keep'em coming!

Great shot Vincent. What webcam are you using? This is what I want to do with my scope. Received my 14.5 "Nightsky Scope this past Saturday. Still in the unopened boxes. Do not have time at present to use it. I hear that the Denkmeier OCS is used a lot for imaging. Might want to check with them.

Regards,

Bob

Looks like you may have had pretty decent seeing Vincent. That's a very nice image.
