So, the third epic astrophotography adventure was this evening. The first night, I had lots of frames of black, no stars at all. The second night was done by means of cheating, and I haven’t yet sorted the photos…. the third night and……
But more exciting than the moon (taken with a blue filter in case you where wondering…)
Yup, Jupiter and 3 moons. A bit out of focus, but you can just about see them. A bit more practice and I might get a nice shot!!!
All of these images where converted out of RAW using FOSS. I’ll blog a bit more about the set up on a later date.

I’ve just seen the most inspiring site! Using one of the Universities telescopes I saw Jupiter and 3 of its moons all lined up. An amazing sight, and hopefully I’ll be able to get a picture of it this week
