Jupiter...I give up

Posted By Brian Maynard

Ok, I give up on this one. After many months of trying to get a good image of Jupiter I guess my local seeing conditions just won't let me get the detail. I know the drill, collmination, focus and time all of which I have spent a great deal of time on. I wonder why all the rest of my images are much better, not perfect, but pretty good. All but Jupiter. Well, one out of a hudred million objects to image isn't bad.

Jupiter,

Posted By Brian Maynard

Ok, we've seen tons of Jupiter images most of which look like they came from Hubble. Here is my best. Taken last night with an 8" LX200 and an SAC7. Usually, my Jupiter images are horrible, local seeing rarely lets me see anything but a quivering white featureless blob. But last night wasn't as bad. It is 298 frames stacked in Registax 2. You know the feeling you get when you finally get a decent image after months of dissapointment grin
