Description

Decided to try planetary imaging with the 12" this night. Really glad I have an A-P mount with a point model that put Jupiter and focus stars smack on the imaging chip. Still have no idea what I am doing besides the basics I found digging around CN, here, and various spots on the Internet. For focusing I was using a nearby star and the bahtinov mask. I keep the recording time to 3min max and tried different settings in SharpCap live Raw8/Raw16, smaller resolution modes to get the fastest FPS. Sorting and stacking was done in AutoStakkert and processing in Registax 6, with some final adjustments in PI and PS. Again, still consider myself a rookie, but happy with this result.
