Just started out on Steemit Wanted to share a capture I did of Jupiter back in 2017, Was using a Celestron Nexstar 5SE telescope along with a Celestron NexImage 5 Planetary Imaging camera.
You can see one of Jupiter's Moons called ''lo'' passing in front of Jupiter in my capture.
How the capture works is by using a software called IC Capture or the included software for the NexImage 5 called iCap.
Depending on the seeing conditions for the night Exposure and Gain are needed to be adjusted, the Celestron NexImage 5 has a focal length of a 7mm eyepiece for some low end telescopes a 7mm eyepiece would be to high of a powered eyepiece which would make it blurry.
Locating and getting the object into focus requires a bit of work as well.
But in the end it's worth it!
If you would like to see more images I've done and will be doing feel free to comment.
Fantastic shot! I'm just an amateur with the telescope...I know how hard it is to locate let alone capture a picture! Well done @matthewhknight. I like what you are sharing with us. Please check out #newbieresteemday and other communities to make connections for your work! And welcome to Steemit!
