Like my last post says, I went through an unfortunate incident of breaking the mount of my Celestron 114EQ. Thankfully I had the Samyang Mirror Lens to play with. Here is a photo of Jupiter made with the mirror lens:
The photo is not so bad compared to the shot I took via the 114 EQ (link: http://galileoscamera.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-shot-of-jupiter.html):
The obvious differences are in the image size (which I still cannot figure out why - possibly I shot at a different resolution) and the shutter speed/ISO settings. The 114EQ gives the less grainy/noisy and therefore the better quality image.
Well I guess I need to try a bit more in darker and clearer skies.

Very nice. Where do you plan to shoot from next -- since you're looking for clearer skies?
ReplyDeleteI am currently thinking of visiting somewhere like Puttalam or down south because I also want a clear west view (to shoot the PANSTARRS comet). One of my friends also suggested Delft island.
