Jupiter 27 March 2016

Another pass on Jupiter this evening, the string of decent seeing nights has continued. I am working on improving the setup and my technique. I had been using a diagonal to mount the camera… That is gone. I futzed with the collimation a bit, but it really is quite close. I need to figure out how to get a barlow into this arrangement, do they make a rear cell thread barlow like the focal reducer?

The seeing really does appear to be my greatest limitation. Planning a trip to better seeing in the next couple weeks.

It is not an Easter egg, but this will have to do, the closest I have for the day…
