First Planetary AP Ever ! Jupiter !

Want to see what I can do from my Fremont backyard for a long time.
I got an Orion tube ring for my 10" Dob and mount it on the Mach1.
It is heavy and I have to use all 3 counterweight plus some dummy weight from Sports Authority.


I just would like to give planetary AP a try so I use my DSLR (Canon T3i) and control with BYEOS.
With the 5x LiveView video, it gives me almost 1:1 pix scale.


Not too bad from the first try !!


Did some quick and dirty process and here is the result.
A lot more to learn.


The funny part for planetary AP is you take 1hr to setup and tear down. But only get something like 2min video...
