EQMOD EQASCOM with Ascom 6 for mount control. Backyard EOS Pro 3.0.3 for Image acquisition. Mount - Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro. Guidescope - Orion ShortTube 80 with Starlight Xpress SuperStar (Mono) CCD Auto Guider and Stark Labs PHD auto guiding software.
Imaged at Perth Observatory site. At less than 600mm focal length this is not a good image, however was a last capture before packup. Plenty of time to try with longer focal length as Jupiter comes into the mid-evening sky in early 2015. Captured with BackyardEOS 5X Planetary mode - 500 frames @ ISO1250 at 1/60 sec. Post processed by Video Castrator 0.0.1.12 to reduce video field. Processed by Registax 6 to select and align best 20% (100) frames and wavelet process. Final processing with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Telescope - PowerNewt 200mm f/4 with PowerNewt(ASA) f/2.84 Reducer/Coma Corrector, No filter, Baader BCF modified Canon 70D DSLR field 90' x 134' , Ambient 21C.
