Jupiter 8/2..found a trick

LOL, I figured, hey, I do own a dob....so when Jupiter was near the edge of the field, I began to gently push the scope to keep Jupiter in the field. Not the slickest way to do it, but it made my frames jump from ~50 at max zoom to 700-900!!! When all else fails, shove the darn thing!



Here is an earlier shot, without my...extra guiding. I'll try that at 1280 the next chance. I was so excited about the 640X zoomed I completely forgot about the 1280.

I was looking through my 39 avi files...lol..12.2 gig's worth...yikes..and I did take an extended 1280. Here it is, and I'm quite excited about the detail I can see. I can't wait to image the transits on Monday night now!



Here is a combined shot I just cobbled together. If I can extend the time taking the 1280 shots, I should be able to boost it a bit more too.



Here was my first shot I took back on the 17th of July...lol



Thanks to everyone for tips. I know I've been flooding this forum with pics of late, but I'm just looking for opinions and tips, and am really hooked on imaging the planets.
