Yet Another Jupiter Photo
Another clear night at low altitude and another attempt at taking a picture of Jupiter and capturing features in the atmosphere. This time I was successful by going to a much shorter exposure time. This loses resolution of the moons, but does show the two major bands in the atmosphere (see picture below at 1/500th sec. exposure, 1600 Iso, using my 8" C8). I believe higher magnification with eye-piece projection is the next step. I started getting a feel today for how much I need to cut down my old adapter to make this work for my Nikon. I'm not sure I can do this in time for my high altitude shots, but I may give it a try.
