Tonight very exciting !!!
I use the DSI . And catch up the JUPITER for my first time successfully , HA HA HA !!

It's the DSI-I . Last night I use my ordinary webcam but failed .
And tonight I tried again the attempt using the DSI indeed .
And when I set the exposure to a very low value ( 0.0085s) , I can see some hits of Jupiter details . Last night my webcam cannot reduce the brightness to such a low value , But DSI CAN do it !! And very good indeed .

Then , of course . I take so many images , about 1600 images . And stack all of them in Registax . Half of the images can be combined sucessfully .

And got this beautiful picture that I had never got one before , Ha ha ha !!

This is the 3X barlow Jupiter last night .
At the beginning , I tested to cmbine 2X and 3 X ( total 6X) , but the image is very bad .
So finally I choose the 3X , which is still ok . . . But seems already reach the limitation of the scope .

2ndly, this time I combine using IRIS and Registax for those 1387 flames . Because I can only stack 150 flames in Registax , cause the image shifting is too big . As I check the shifting statistic in IRIS , over 150 pixels shifting in average speaking among those 1300 flames . Those , Registax seems cannot handle this situation . Thus , I use IRIS to do aligment first , because IRIS can be controlled much more ( more primitive ) , such that ALL those flames can be alighted proerply even such a big drifting .
And then I combine ALL of them in Registax ( by converting to FITS format from PIC format , which can be supported by Registax ) and do some finaly adjustement in Registax .

This is the jupitor last night . It's a failure .
Only a bright big cell , no details , no color .
I use the same web cam to shoot it . I tried to reduce the brightness( offset , gain / exposure) but the result is not so much difference . I even tried to use 2X Barlow to make it more dimmer . But samely not so effective . This picture is captured by 2X barlow .

The foucsing may not be so good as well . I think if using some focusing technique( fish-bone etc.. ) , the image can be revealled some of the jupitor details .
However, my main concern at first is that " how come the disc is so bright ?" "and why my webcam cannot make it dimmer ?" Even though I can focus it perfectly , I think the only difference is that there is a little hits of jupitor lines , but the disc is also white in color , so bright samely .



The same setup to shoot the moon surface is no problem . But the jupitor failed .
I guess the web cam is not suitable to use in taking Jupitor image . Because Jupitor is much more brighter than moon surface counted from the same area of lighting .
That's why we need to use those sepcific webcam , or astro webcam in taking the planets image . But my one is just a ordinary one .
But anyway , that is a good test this time .

Better note it down .. .

LOL - ok ok.... I get it but why the pyramid and other ancient sculptures and so on. I will say you have the most unique posting approach Ive ever seen. At anyrate, I enjoyed scrolling through your images. Nice detail on Jupiter too.
