Jupiter
Posted: Wed 18 Feb 2015, 02:55
My first modest attempts at imaging Jupiter using a 150-600 lens and my 550D. This is heavily cropped but otherwise SOOC. Attempts to clean it up and stack it failed, probably because of the lack of clarity.
The camera settings necessary to get this surprised me! This is ISO400 and 1/200th sec! Unfortunately at those settings the moons aren't visible, though last night all four major moons were visible at longer exposure.
Anyway, here it is - next plan is to get a shot with the Great Red Spot visible! Given one "day" on Jupiter is 9hrs I could either sit on my rooftop waiting all night or just chance my luck & get some sleep!
