A shot of Jupiter


Jupiter

About a week and a half back, I was trying to capture the Geminids. Given the awful location I live, it was a complete no-joy. However, just scanning the skies, figured that Jupiter was actually visible and decided to have a shot at it.

Photo above is a single shot of Jupiter with Canon 550D, prime-focus on a Celestron 114EQ with an exposure time of 1/20sec and ISO 100.

Quite obviously, it is very far from what it should be. But its a start. I also have a series of 20 shots which could've been used for stacking, but unfortunately all of them seem to have gone out of focus. So yes, only this one shot is all I've got. I think it still might be a good one to end the year ;)

P:S: Oh and btw, the stripes are real :)
