All these pictures were taken using Meade 2x Barlow and a 10 inch Meade LX200 GPS telescope and a cooled Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000.


All pics done using Meade 2x Barlow

Here are my 4 best pictures for the night.

Jupiter at 18h36 local time Jupiter at 18h58 local time
Jupiter at 19h35 local time Jupiter at 19h39 local time


Here are those 4 pictures processed in Photoshop.

Jupiter at 18h36 local time Jupiter at 18h58 local time
Jupiter at 19h35 local time Jupiter at 19h39 local time

Jupiter went from 47 to 37 degrees in altitude - from 18h36 to 19h39 local time.

These pictures are pretty, but has little/no? scientific value .. it does not even show details consistently from one picture to the next.


Compressed (to load fast over Internet) screen print from the Planet's Visiblity program - Technical info. about Jupiter - valid for when first picture at top left hand side (18h36 local time) was taken.


Here are some of the other pictures for the night.

Jupiter at 18h12 local time Jupiter at 18h23 local time Jupiter at 18h30 local time
Jupiter at 18h53 local time Jupiter at 19h42 local time Jupiter at 19h45 local time


I can still only stack 45 frames out of 240 - after 60 seconds of exposure time.
