(no subject)

Had another go round with the telescope and camera with its homemade focal reducer.  My biggest hitch was not working with the motor drive, and getting the framerate/exposure settings right without it.  Won't make THAT mistake again.  I did get some good shots, and I might (emphasis on might) get em stacked to bring out more detail.  But I have to admit,  the AVI file, with jupiter moving through the heavens, with its moons in tow is a beautiful sight.

I'm getting warmer

Last night, after much ummm frustrated language (one of the cats kept buffing up against the tripod, and I kept bumping my chest into the declination control again.. ordering angled finder scope, as I am fed up with that) I managed to get a few decent shots of Jupiter.  The AVIs showed Jupiter and some of its moons tracking across the nightsky, but I still have much to learn to use stacking program, the motordrive so I can adjust the framerate and tracking, to get clearer shots.

Ok, my hair is more red than brown but that wasn't an option.

red hair selection puts me as Tori Amos.... I don't think so. (laugh)
