Name: Eric Africa
Date of photo: May 28, 2004
Description (title) of the image: Jupiter through my C8
Relevant photo information:
Celestron C8 on Takahashi EM200 mount
SAC-IVC camera
Stack of about 30 images @ about 1/10 second
Processed in Registax
I got a used C8 from Astromart for longer-fl imaging. It arrived out of collimation (as advertised), and this was the first relatively decent image it provided after I collimated. BTW, the satellite was artificially brightened in post-processing.
What's interesting is that after I imaged Jupiter, I decided to try a DSO image. When I connected my ST-7E to the scope and proceeded to focus, the out-of-focus image showed bad collimation, even though visually everything seemed fine. Go figure!
Eric
