Even though the DWARF 3 isn’t really designed for planetary photography, I decided to give it a try. I tested different settings and captured 200 frames each time. The best result (at least from last night) turned out to be:

• Jupiter: 200× 1/60 sec, gain 0, astro filter

• Moons: 200× 1/3 sec, gain 60, astro filter (I think a VIS filter might have worked even better here)

I processed the stacked images in Siril by removing the green noise (“Remove Green Noise”), saved them as PNGs, and then continued editing in GIMP. In detail, I took the image of Jupiter, added the moons as a separate layer, and essentially painted them back into the scene. I also reduced the brightness of the moons and enhanced Jupiter’s color, but I didn’t apply any additional sharpening or blurring afterward.

These are all steps that absolutely don’t require you to be a professional—anyone here can achieve the same results just as easily.

Brand new to this folks.

I got the moon and the Orion Nebula

But Jupiter is so briggg it’s always overexposed

Simple thing I can do better ?

Thanks

Greetings- Can anyone offer a good set of parameters for Jupiter and/or Saturn? I still remember seeing it for the first time with my young daughters (now late 30's). Thanks in advance!

I took a picture of Jupiter on thanksgiving night but I never seen the three moons of Jupiter in a straight line! Can someone explain this thank you
