I'm new at this, but having a good time during the learning curve.

Here is Jupiter from 14 Sep 2012. My set up is pointing my scope out an open window. No barlow used in this one. I think I got lucky.

I really like your full disk sun with all the sunspots. And the moon photos remind me of those featured in the Questar gallery book decades ago, just better. And Jupiter, stunning with just 89mm of aperture. Glad you created a place to do them justice Post Extras:       TerryWood sage Reged: 03/15/12 Loc: USA Re: Questar Astrophotos and Advice [Re: Erik Bakker]       #5423818 - 09/16/12 01:58 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you Erik, I really appreciate the kind words. You're being to nice. But, I'll take it! Hopefully, my pictures will improve as time goes along. Thanks again for the advice. Hope all is well on your side of the globe.

Still looks similar, but just a hair more clarity.

Totally overdone, but it does bring out some detail that was hidden before. There's only so much that I can do with this particular picture. Should be getting clear skies tomorrow.

However, I gave it a try. This was about the best I could do. V/R Terry Edited by TerryWood (09/20/12 05:11 AM) Post Extras:       TerryWood sage Reged: 03/15/12 Loc: USA Notice the change in angle [Re: TerryWood]       #5433498 - 09/21/12 09:33 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Wow, I just caught this....look at the 2 pics above of the transit of Io across Jupiter. The whole angle (or our vantage on Earth) changed in a matter of minutes. Io seems to be below a main cloud belt in the first pic, and then in-line with it in the second pic. Also the top of Jupiter and the GRS are visible in the first, with the second pic having a straight-on view. Am I losing my mind? Or is this just basic Astronomy 101 and I should know this already... :-) Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
