Planet photography

Where:  

Cern Prévessin site

This picture was obtained using firecapure, pipp, autostakkert3 and registax6. The poor quality is caused by the bad collimation and seeiing.y the

Jupiter

Clear sky. Moon at 3/4. Temperature +1C to -2C. A little condensation and frost.  No wind. 2-seconds seeing (with metaguide) = 2.2".

Started setup at 19h00 ended 23h10.

We setup the SCT Celestron Edge HD8 at focal length 2000mm with a ASI533MC camera.

Finding good focus, first on the moon edge and then on stars with Badinov mask and automatic focus routine in NINA.

Looking at Jupiter, we saw that the SCT collimation was not good, but had no time to start a recollimation.

Then took video of Jupiter and Mars (near opposition on 8 december) with 10ms frames.
