Oct 5, 2022 - Jupiter TimeLapse

My favorite type of Astrophotography with fast moving targets is Time-Lapse, this year I purchased a Celestron 11" with an Alt-Az mount, it really works like a charm with Lunar and Planetary and it tracks really well.

Now with any mount, keeping a target in the middle of the field of view will require guiding, with DSO we autoguide on a star but with Planetary at least for me I've used FireCapture Autoguiding feature which works amazing of keeping a certain feature in the same field of view, I am not going to explain it as you can google (FireCapture Autoguiding) and you will know how awesome it is.

Now with Alt-Az mount this feature unfortunately doesn't work at all, and I tried to find any post or article that explains how it works without any luck until few friends suggested to get a Wedge and mainly convert the Alt-Az mount to an EQ mount, and bingo that fixed the problem, FC autoguiding worked flawlessly, and as a test I was able to capture Jupiter for 2 hours without babysitting the mount.

This timelapse was created from 57x1500 frames video with 2min delay in between, each video was stacked in AutoStakkert3, Processed and sharpened with Astrosurface and Pixinsight and final video was created in PIPP ... I hope you like it.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
