Description

First cut at an image of Jupiter, taken 10/15/22 at about 9:00 PM.  Taken at the Belk Observatory in Bedford, VA which was the site of the annual picnic for the local astronomy club.  Taken with a RC Optical Systems 20-inch Truss Ritchey-Chrétien telescope, ZWO ASI485MC camera, and Televue Powermate 2.5x barlow.  This was our first time using this scope gear and it was a bit of guesswork on focus, exposure, and tracking..just to start.  Gain of 82 and exposure of 112ms for a SER file with 1093 frames and the best 25% stacked with PIPP, AutoStakkert, RegiStax 6, PixInsight, Windows and Apple edit.

Hope to do another session in about 2 weeks and try to get focus and exposure a bit closer.
