Hoegaarden Astronomy & Photography
The first time this season that I could image Jupiter, and an excellent opportunity to apply the skills of the Maksutov again. The seeing was exceptionally good, a very very rare occasion.
These are the images of the planet, diameter 46″ and Altitude 16 degrees.
I was planning to create a terminator mozaic, unfortunately the size of the AVI’s was soo large, I lost some of these due to file copy mismanagement! Oops. So these three pictures emerged (click on them for full-size)
All Lunar images with out Barlow – so native 2700mm focal lenght.
I imaged Jupiter also – way more down to the horizon – with a 2x Barlow, effective focal length 5400mm
Very poor results!
