Jupiter Image

I was finishing up collimating a customers scope LATE and I turned the scope towards Jupiter and saw some of the most amazing views that I have seen in years!! I ran and got the Toucam and started to image before I fell asleep outside.

What did the image train consist of Brian?

It must be nice having some good seeing for Jupiter, It's too low for anything useful here. I prefer your earlier Jupiter post, but then you may have not been using the mewlon on this one. What scope did you use?

Thanks guys for your comments. The scope was a Celestron C14 OTA with XLT coatings. It belongs to a customer of ours and when I received it, it was in awful condition. The collimation was a country mile out and the owner tried to "clean" the optics so I had to fix that as well.

After it was all nice and clean, I proceeded to collimate the scope and voila, I finally got some nice images in the eyepiece.

Very nice Brian. Lots of detail.
