Jupiter this morning

Hello Jim,



Awesome image. You took your picture when the GRS was in almost the same position as when I took mine.

Battling to image Jupiter

Posted By Kirk Vanden
Hello,


It appears that you have the gain of your camera set too high. My best guess.

Setting it high while focusing is useful since you can focus on one of the moons until it becomes as small and round aa possible. Then lower the gain until the planet image is no longer washed out.

I use a TouCam and when the gain is just right for the planet, the moons are no longer visible.

Hello Wes,


Very nice image. I saw a moon rock from Hadley Rille last year when I was in DC. They have one on display at the National Air and Space Museum.

Hello Larry,


That is a very nice picture. Nice round stars. What did you use to combine the 15 second frames? I am looking forward to seeing it when you get the colors sorted out.
