Here my first jupiter webcam photo.
Very surprised with result compare to film photo.
Celestron 14, f/28 with 2.5x powermate, ToUcamPro, 400frames stacked among 650, 10im/s, Raiatea island.
I think (and I wish) the seeing can be better than this night.
Regards.

Hi all,
Here a jupiter photo taken with my Celestron 14 and a ToUcamPro the 18 april 7h23UT.
First time I tried a very big focal lengh (f/50-17600mm)(2.5x powermate and 1.8x lumicon barlow)...almost the maximum for a webcam ccd, 10imps, 1/33", 400frames stacked among 650.
Treatment was not very easy (big thanks to Philippe Cambre for his help).
Best

Thank you very much all for your kidness....
For the fun, I send the same photo color enhanced by a french friend Bob Saint Clair. This one is better than mine for contrast, color and details.

Maybe you will laugh (and won't trust me), but I think the maximun has not been made with a 355mm. I remember a nigh (3 years ago) with an image over the eyepiece far better than last night and the photo.
The one thing to do is to wait for "this" perfect seeing and to be ready for "this" night. I am waiting!!!!!!
Yu Gu, when you want with pleasure.


For the "small" Marlin discution, there are a lot of fish in our ocean (for the moment). I was 17 years old when I capture my first big marlin....but it is not for that I do not love nature, fish, animals, chickens.....
Luca, and you, you don't eat chikens, sheeps, cows....???

In french polynesia, now we try to release the small fish in fishing parties. Boats which release fishs win more points. We just keep the biggest (200-300pound and more)(sorry for them and for my non perfect english).

Regards and good observations.
