My first RGB planetary image
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 … Continue reading
A second attempt at Jupiter
A week after the first, I managed another session on Jupiter. I feel exceptionally out of practice this year, though I’m happier with the detail this time around. And another animation. Watch the seeing completely go to pieces just after … Continue reading
Jupiter at last!
Whilst we weren’t subject to the flooding suffered by those living on the Levels at the other end of Somerset, it was nonetheless an exceptionally wet winter here and it wasn’t until well after opposition that I could get out … Continue reading
First Light for Linux imaging application
It’s been a stupendous time coming thanks to the grim weather we’ve had over the last three months, but then if the weather hadn’t been grim I might not have got so far 😀 However, two nights ago I went … Continue reading
More ASI120MC Jupiter Images
A montage of my next set of images of Jupiter. I’m starting to feel better about these though they’re still not without problems. I have the gain fairly high to help with the colour, but that seems to result in … Continue reading
Next Set of ASI120MC Images
Everyone seems to be chasing Jupiter as it heads off towards conjunction, but the lack of clear nights is not giving me much practice with this camera and time is running out. This set of images is better than the … Continue reading
First ASI120MC images
A montage of images from my first decent run out with the ASI120MC (in the 127 Mak). Clearly I was a bit heavy-handed with the gain and the equatorial belt is a little burnt out, but ok for an unfamiliar … Continue reading
New Kid on the Block: The ASI120MC
I’ve been pondering on a dedicated planetary imaging camera for a while. The SPC900 is exceptionally good for what it is, especially as I paid only £5 for mine, but being USB1 the frame rate is limited to 10 fps … Continue reading
A Short “Great Red Spot” Animation
From the same night (just a little later) as my previous Io transit images, watch the GRS as Jupiter rotates:
Io’s Transit of Jupiter, 11 December 2012
Ganymede and Europa are “in the bag”. Catching Io here means there’s only Callisto left. Of course I didn’t catch the whole transit for the first two so I shall be revisiting that next apparition. And an animation of the … Continue reading
