paulgrover68 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Friday was clear, but the moon was bright. So I stripped down the rig and setup to try planets. I used sharpcap and made a few colour depth mistakes - all the first runs were 8 bit. Fixed that and gradually messed with settings to get some detail showing. Gradually increased magnification so in the end I was using a 3xBarlow giving a focal length of around 2700mm. Processing was a bit stab in the dark... never been quite sure how wavelets work! Final result is a bit meh... but there's some detail. I wanted to do Saturn afterwards, but clouds happened. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
