Jupiter and Moons

Taken with the ED80 scope and QHY268C APS-C camera, captured more detail than I was expecting considering the size of the scope and large sensor.

Scope:     Sky Watcher ED80 DS Pro

Mount:    Sky Watcher NEQ6 Pro

Camera:  QHY268C

Image capture: SharpCap

Planetarium:    Cartes du Ciel

Compiled from a well exposed Jupiter and overexposed to image the Moons.

Jupiter video - 125ms exposure for 60sec

Moons video - 2s exposure for 60 sec

Original frame size 1600 x 1200, cropped to 795 x 509 then doubled in size to 1590 x 1018

Processed in Affinity Photo V1.10.1 and Photoshop Elements 13.
