There's more data to go through but this is indicative of the quality of the session. There's a bright white spot in the NNTB that I haven't noticed in my images before - is it new? 12" newt on EQ6, DMK21AF04 + 5x powermate. FL ~ 10,360mm. Attached is a native size and a 150% upscaled version. More to come in the next day(s). Loads of data to go through!

I was wrong about the white spot in the NNTB, it's been there for some time. I should pay more attention I'm generally not a fan of upscaled images as they never look as sharp, but sometimes they come out ok. I captured some Jupiter with an extension tube but it was too big for the 640x480 window!! -------------------- Mike . mikesalway.com.au - Astronomy and Photography by Mike Salway .

I really like it. I'm usually downscaling my Jupiters to 75%. When it gets higher in alt. I shouldn't have to do that anymore.
