I’ve been working myself up to having a crack at monochrome planetary imaging for a while, but having got the motorised focuser, dew heaters and so on sorted it seemed like it was about time.
Capturing the data was actually far easier than I imagined though having a motorised filter wheel certainly helps. In fact if I’d known how (relatively) painless it was going to be I’d have started some time ago.
Anyhow, after a quick process here’s my first attempt at an image. It needs some tweaking of the colour alignment and I need to go away and learn more about processing these, but even so I’m sure it’s the best image of Jupiter I’ve ever captured so I’m nothing but pleased really.
