I used: 150/750 Newtonian scope, 2x No Name Barlow, DMK21.AU04.AS camera, Registax6 for processing. Aditional data: Night of 12.17.2012, GRS visible, Visible Moons Io and Europa That's a solid effort, looks like you are getting the hang of that new camera Clear Skies, Brian Post Extras:       Andy Taylor Twisted, but in a Good Way Reged: 09/24/08 Loc: The Pub.

This one was truly a picture to die for... -almost!! I have been trying to grab some good images this autumn and winter.. -but with no greater luck, due to the extremely bad weather we have been experiencing here. I have gotten some "kind of -ok" shots with both the C8 and C9,25, but nothing with the quality that I expected to get, when Jupiter was at about 55 degrees elevation. Well, I shot this image of Jupiter and Io, tonight from my balcony. As we have milder weather coming in now, the snow on my roof has been melting for a couple of days. As I was mounting the scope on the mount, a small (but obviously heavy) avalanche of snow and ice fell down on the balcony... It hit my balcony table, were I have my laptop placed when imaging.... -leaving the table completely crushed! I dont want to think about, what would have happened if that chunk of ice had hit me in the head!! I decided to go on with my imaging mission anyway, and I managed to grab one .avi before the clouds came rolling in. I used my Vixen ED 100 SF and the DBK.21.618 with a 2,5X PM. 2500 frames of 5000. Y800/Y800 codec. The image is resized to 170% in R6. The picture itself is nothing to write home about, only half decent seeing, windy (15 m/sec) and clouds coming and going... I´ll post it anyway, as it could have been my last! Next time, when imaging on my balcony, I will wear a helmet for sure!! I will go through the images that I have shot with the C8 and C9,25 this autumn/winter and post the better of them later on! Kind regards, Roger!

Sounds like you need a helmet yes! Very nice image with the 100ED. I've pretty much had the same weather as you However I got lucky one day with my C8 (Yes, I got my old C8 back), and ended up with my best Jupiter session ever (Thread).

All pictures taken with a 150/750mm Newtonian scope (6"/30"), with a 2x Barlow, and stacked with Registax (and resized one of them).

Actual frame rate was really slow and until I buy something more appropriate I may need to dust off my old SPC900NC webcam. Perhaps if I play around with the SSAG I can coax some more FPS out of it. This was set to capture 640x480; full frame was even slower, but still faster than 1 frame every 4 seconds, which is the best I can do on my SXV-H9 (not an SXVF - F for fast).

Jupiter put on quite a show the night of 30/31 December with an eclipse/emergence and transit events. This composite shows a bit of these two events, the pair was acquired through my TEC 140 and a Siebert 4x Barlow at f/28. I was using the DBK21AU618 with a Baader UV/IR cut filter at 60 fps for 180 seconds...

This data did not seem as good, even though there is more there...but...I'm probably not a good judge at this point. The deconvolution was more difficult to get...I won't say right as I'm still not totally happy with it. It'll take some time to get into a rhythm.

Taken with my 6" SW Mak. I'd like to ask if the image is dark on your screens, since on my laptop it's rather ok, maybe I have to adjust/ calibrate my screen?
