The
following pictures were taken with the old
Connectix Color QuickCam (unmodified), mounted to
a 26mm Meade Super Plössl or a 8.8mm Meade Ultra
Wide eyepiece. The telescope used was a Meade
LX-90 (8" SCT, f/10). Pictures were created
by stacking using AstroStack
(except one picture which was created using AstroVideo).
Original AVIs grabbed using the Connectix
QuickMovie app. (except the AstroVideo shot).
Nov 10, 2001 -- Jupiter. The
first and last capture of Jupiter that I took
over an hour (0900 - 1000 UTC) while the shadows
of Io and Europa passed over the lower band. The
animation is a collection of all frames (taken
every 5 minutes). Focus is pretty poor, but the
animation definitely shows the shadows.
July 25, 2001 -- Mars. The first
two pictures were grabbed without any filter. The
third picture was through a Meade filter No. 80A
(blue) and the fourth was through a Meade filter
No. 23A (red).
