Probably about as good a Jupiter as I will be able to get with just the camera.* But hey, you can see the stripes!!!
Produced by taking 30 individual pictures (1/125, f/6.5, ISO 80) and then aligning and “stacking” them to get more detail than any of the individual photos showed. (I used Lynkeos.) Then I adjusted the color a bit.
The 30 pictures were taken from 06:46:00 UTC to 06:46:27 UTC tonight
This is fun. I of course will have to try Saturn sometime soon…. once it is relatively high in the sky at an hour I tend to be awake, which looks like it won’t be until March or April.
Also on the list to try… seeing if I can use Brandy’s telescope in conjunction with the camera to do anything interesting. Not sure it will work with this particular camera and that particular telescope, but worth a shot…
Oh, and maybe some pictures of things that aren’t in the sky. :-)
* Some internet searches of course reveal that people have done significantly better than the above using the same camera, but hey, it was my first night trying this technique!
Wow! Great shot Sam.
Thanks! Having fun playing with a new camera and trying out some new things. :-)
