A Collection of images with the Questar
of the Moon and Jupiter

Taken 2/8/14

 
Its
      nice during the nearly full moon to get out on a clear night
      and try my hand at imaging with the very tiny Questar telescope
      from the balcony. I had not tried Jupiter yet, and was rewarded
      with a transiting shadow of one of its moons. Also, some shots
      of the moon itself shows decent details despite the poor seeing
      conditions.

Set up on the Balcony
for some Lunar and 
Planetary imaging

Jupiter with 3x Klee in Barlow - you can see a moon peeking around one limb, and a 
shadow of probably the same moon on the left limb.


The 3/4 Gibbous Moon Prime focus - same DMK51 camera as above










Seeing was quite poor at 3/10 so it was dicey to try the built in 2x Barlow for the next few shots
