Jupiter – planetary imaging session – September 30, 2022

After endless struggling with my QHY, I decided to shoot Jupiter with my EOS.

I was really happy that i finally got a picture of Jupiter after endless tries to get my QHY running. After ending the session I realized that i recorded only in 1280×720 instead of using full HD.

It took me some time this evening to find the focus point of this image train. VISAC – Televue PowerMate – EOS M100
