Jupiter pic

[kasey foley]

I got this pic of Jupiter this morning around 5:30 am, the sky was already lightening so it isn’t great (not even good) but it’s my first time trying from my yard (Bortle 7). I used my Canon 5D Mark III, 150-600 mm Sigma lens at 600 mm, ISO 500, F 6.3, 1/640th second, no tracking or stacking, just one shot.

Yay Kasey !

Great shot of your new Jovian giant backyard pet.

Very nice.  I find it much harder to get a good planetary image than with deep space objects.  You would think since they are in our own solar system it should be easier but nope.  Their small size and brightness make it difficult to capture at the right exposure and with good surface detail.  They really require a long focal length with higher magnification, so you don't lose detail when cropping to a larger size, and steady tracking.

Regards,

Eric

That looks great, it’s just what it looks like in my scope, you can see color! Wonderful.
