Jupiter & moons
Photo Information
One of the best of many attempts to photograph Jupiter & its moons.
This one was with a 600mm Ricoh mirror lens & a 3* Clubman tele-converter on my K100D (0.3s, ISO 3200, with the levels tweaked to show the dimmest moon).
Not a patch on Father Ted's!!!!!

Even with hours of playing with 2 telescopes, I can't get any hint of surface detail.
Perhaps I need a IR block filter, or a better scope (£££££) but I supect I need more skill, more practice & lots of luck as well!
Good luck Tim - Clear skies (& warm clothes) for when you do try.

Father Ted's is great, but seemingly unattainable for those of us without telescopes.
