Jupiter on a budget

Jupiter Febuary 2016.

Celestron SkyProdigy 130

Canon Eos 70D

Eye piece projection 10mm

Processed with Autostakkert 2 and Registax 6.

Taken in my back garden Stevenage Uk.

My 2nd hand skyprodigy was £150 supplied with the wrong handset.Ipurchased a starsence hand set for £25 from ebay(I was lucky with that one.).The handset socket on my telescope proved to be faulty but plugging the hand set into the aux port works fine.The mount does not track very accurately and I always get out of shape stars when I try long exposure.The canon 70D was a gift to replace a 550d I had bought 2nd hand for £200 including a 70-300 lens.
