Re: Jupiter and moons

From attempts to photograph jupiter I have seen elsewhere these are superb.

Okay Ian....now take several of Jupiter and use Registax to up the detail. The blend with the image with the moons....

Of course the experts like Dave (devilgas) can do this:



Not jealous at all...much!

Mmm, I also was out in the cool evening air taking pix of same. I found the moon too bright to get as much detail as normal. Mind I have been under the weather for a few days so perhaps the brain wasn't alert as usual.

This is 1 image pixel to 1 display pixel and exposed at ISO 200 to show as much detail as possible:



The two faint bands are more discernable this time

We are blessed with fairly clear skies tonight here in Hemel Hempstead and I noticed that Jupter was bright next to the near full moon. So I got the big Zuiko Digital 300 f/2.8 with a 1.4 converter (making it equivalent to an 850mm full frame telephoto) and bolted it on to my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and took it outside with a tripod to see if it was worth photographing. I was very surprised to find that I could also see four of the moons



This was exposed to show the moons - ISO 3200, f/6.3, 1/200th.



This was an attempt to show some detail on Jupiter but it's very faint - maybe a couple of bands. The moon to the right has disappeared because of the lower exposure: ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/200th.

Both shots are reproduced at 2 image pixels to one displayed pixel.
