Description

First cut at an image of Jupiter and 3 of its moons taken 12/16/22 , 7:31 PM, here at home.  Taken with a Celestron C6N and ASI485MC camera and Televue Powermate 2.5x barlow.  Captured as a 30 second AVI with 465 frames, gain of 117 and exposure of 16ms.  Processed with AutoStakkert, Registax, Windows and Apple edit.

This was a first time out with this scope mostly as a test.  I've had this scope for about 3 years but had not used it much due to the manual focus control which was difficult to use/control.  This past week I got a ZWO EAF focuser and managed to configure it on the scope using a small rubber mat, twist ties, and the standard bracket that came with the focuser.  There is a bit of backlash, but it worked so much better than the manual approach from before.
