03/11/2009: Imaging Jupiter and The Moon

I’ve tried imaging Jupiter before and was hoping to take some better images tonight using a 3x Barlow lens in front of the webcam.

Jupiter definitely turned out bigger and the belts and bands on its surface can be seen much better this time. Although I think the images could still be a little sharper.

Here is the album:

…and a sample picture:

I’ve also had another go at making a Moon mosaic. This time with an almost full Moon.

Here is the result. Unfortunately this time I’ve missed a few bits; bang in the middle and on the right at the terminator. But there is definitely a bit more colour this time.

Album with a few sample individual shots and the final mosaic here:
