philjay Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 These are my best attempts from tonight, thought I would share. All taken through the Orion Optics F6 newt on my CGE mount using the IMGOH camera. The small one is at f12 using the vixen 2x barlow, Titan is poking through on this one 100 frames. The medium one is at F18 using the Meade 3x barlow, 2135 frames The big un is a daft attempt at f30 stacking both barlows, there was considerable droop giving the fuzzy image but it was a test to see if I could use this set up with a 5x Powermate and its a positive I reckon. 1000 frames Anyrode the clouds coming over now so I think that's tonights session over soI reckon I shall be packing away Oh and the F12 one is indicating the north polar storm or hexagon, quite pleased with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 This F18 one shows the North Polar Hexagon a little better I think Conditions still aren't letting me get a clean crisp Cassini division unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 All brilliant Phil. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks folks One thing this exercise has shown and that my vintage newt needs cooling fan/s. It has a closed mirror cell, (80s technology which OO used well into the 90s), and the tube currents are degrading the images a bit. So another project is coming I can feel it in my water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
