    Getting slowly better at this astrophotography thing. Finally managed to get some Jupiter stripes and a very clear shot of the rings.pic.twitter.com/MuPfWyBhVE

        Don’t click on the images... the stripes are clearer when small. These are 1/20s, iso 800 on SLR+scope. I may be able to do better by fiddling with file sizes/raw. Also fairly lousy seeing and planets low in sky.

        I think I can do better with Saturn. Gets much brighter at 1/10 or 1/4 but starts to blur.

        look into stacking if you haven't already -- if you're already getting results like this it'll help a lot. PIPP is great for preformatting and deep sky stacker is good/easy for the actual stacking
