Jupiter 31st October 2024

It was supposed to be cloudy all day, but the sky was relatively clear, so I decided to attempt a short imaging session.
To my delight it stayed clear until 10pm, so also took a chance at Jupiter, which rose to 30 degrees or just above the tree line.
Below is a stack of 14x 30s videos, stacked in AutoStakkert, sharpened in registax and de-rotated in WinJupos.

It has been a while. I was not able to do any proper astrophotography for a long time now, due to a rather poor weather and other commitments. I thought I am going to increase my chances of getting some imaging time and finally bought a Daystar Quark. Here are some the first images taken with it. Looking forward to capturing and sharing more of solar images in the future. Have a great day everyone!
