Jupiter, Mizar and 95 Her - 9 July 2007
NexStar 11 GPS
I didn't take good notes on these images as seeing was terrible and I
didn't expect much, but they show some interesting capabilities of the
NexImage camera coupled with Baader's Hyperion eyepieces. The
NexImage was coupled to the top of the eyepieces with a threaded adapter
from Baader and a 1.25" eyepiece holder attached to that adapter.
The NexImage camera was then held in the eyepiece holder in classic
eyepiece projection configuration. The video streams were
processed in RegiStax 3. The SEB of Jupiter was almost invisible during this time
period - it is the faint reddish ribbon in the wide white band. I also
caught Io transiting (that faint white dot over the NEB near the right-hand
limb) and Io's shadow on the NEB:
Mizar and its companion:
95 Her:
