Description

Side by side comparison of pictures of Jupiter taken at few minutes of distance with the Celestron C6 and a mono and a color camera.
Different focal length have been obtained with different spacings between the Barlow optical element and the sensors.
Mono image: 1505 frames taken at 1:25 AM.
Color image: 859 frames taken at 1:18 AM.
Jupiter was quite low on the horizon (about 25 degrees) and hence the quality of the image cannot be of the best kind.
And of course I had just 10 minutes of "opportunity window" in which image the planet, having also to change cameras, so everything, including focussing, was done in a hurry, and indeed I forgot to put in the IR-CUT filter with the color camera!
