Back again

It seems like my last post was more than 11 months ago. Due to my job change and severe weather in Sri Lanka (more specifically Colombo), I have not been able to get in to astrophotography much. I had dropped my expectations a bit when we started getting freak showers last week (again) but then I noticed that towards the early mornings, the sky is extremely clear. So here we are: Venus - Nexstar 4SE and Canon 550D Jupiter and Galilean Moons  (from top to bottom: Callisto, Ganymede, Io and at the bottom, Europa) - Single shot off of Nexstar4SE and Canon 550D Jupiter - Stack of 50 frames (Nexstar4SE and Canon 450D) Jupter and Io (probably) - Stack of 250 frames (Nexstar4SE and Canon450D) I think I need to play around with more stacking options and perhaps it might be possible to see the rest of the moons too.
