Jupiter
is finally up early enough in the evening to check out! Wow, what a neat sight! I couldn’t get a good shot of both Jupiter
and its moons, since Jupiter is so bright, so I combined two images (very
roughly) at different shutter speeds and meters so you could see both at the
same time.
Jupiter and its four Galilean moons; two single images combined.

Jupiter: 1/25s, ISO-400
Moons: 1/13s, ISO-3200
At some
point, I’ll have to get some kind of barrel extender so I can connect my camera
on top of my eyepieces so that I can get larger magnification on planets. But yeah, there it is!
I decided to take another whack at
Andromeda (attempt #5). I got about 50
good frames, 20” long at ISO-6400, but again, I think I just need a lot more
data, or something. You can see some of
the dust lanes, but it’s still not great.

Especially
at ISO-6400, it’s grainy as heck.
Also, of course, more Orion. Got about 50 frames there too, at 20” apiece
and ISO-6400. The high ISO made the
final quite grainy, however.
