Sometimes you have to fail before you can move on.....
My first serious attempt at Planetary imaging last night - got the 102/1100 Refractor out with my ZWO120mm Mono guide camera, running it through ASICAP.
Much to my surprise I managed to frame Jupiter and Saturn in the camera, and through the viewfinder before attaching the camera they looked absolutely glorious !!!
This is the best of the output from a few .avi files from last night, run through Autostakkert. Obviously a work in progress and so many things to learn - from my back garden the planets only just clear the roof, and I wondered if there was additional air currents from the hot roof, or if it was just a bad seeing day !!
At least you can see it's Saturn, and I'm particularly excited about that !!
Note to self, must do better ! - I also need to try to work out a strategy to capture these better !
