Jupiter AUgust 23rd

Just got myself a CCD cam, so I've finally had an opportunity to start taking some images. This is my first shot of jupiter, or indeed anything with my scope

Hi John,

Congratulations on your first capture. You should get yourself a good barlow x2 or a powermate that will help with your magnification. Also well done on the processing and color balance If you have any questions just ask

Carl.

Hiya, I have a barlow - I was really just testing out the cam and software. Will try for something larger next time

I think I have the hang of this software now. I ran it through photoshop, but there was only so much I could do at that resolution.

Here's another shot from last night, more natural colours.
