Pages: 1 BillBrowning Vendor - Astrosightsaver Reged: 05/03/05 Loc: New York NY what can I expect using an etx 90 and a Canon T3i       #5566740 - 12/11/12 11:08 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I don't get a chance to get to dark skies or use my C8 much anymore but I have n etx 90 I cb pull out easily enough. Was wondering if I could get decent results its it and a T3i on Jupiter using the cameras movie mode.

But, I see you haven't had much response. You could use ETX 90. But, in movie mode, the planet will be quite small, even if you use a barlow. Since dark skies are not a must (I image from my backyard and light polluted skies) for planetary imaging, you might be better off using your C8 with a 2x barlow. There are adapters to get it at prime focus. Also, with alt-az mounts, you will get some field rotation as you track and shoot the planet. Keep videos short, maybe 2 minutes. And, that won't be a problem. Use the movie mode that gives you a format recognized by one of the stacking programs, ie Registax. Let us know if you have some other questions.

I was thinking of trying the setup just because its more portable nd easier to setup for a quick session. Ive done imaging with the C8 and. Webcam in the past I'm just not familiar with the resolution I could get with the movie mode on this camera.

A 30 second video took about 18Mb file. Your Canon probably has similar selections...just make sure Registax can recognize the video file. I don't know how large your image will be. But, on my 90mm mak-cass with no barlow (I might have added an 1" extension tube instead,) in 640 x 480 mode, Jupiter covered about 1/5th the width or about 130 of the 640. Seeing was dreadful, when I tried. So, the result was poor. I prefer using my other cameras.
