Orogeny Goldmember  More info | Apr 11, 2020 17:40 | #3 Nothing as good as the example you posted, but I captured this not long after I got my Sigma 150-600 C. This is two photos merged - Jupiter was 600mm, iso 400, f/8, 1/60 sec and the moons were 600mm, iso 3200, f/6.3, 1/10 sec. Both images were cropped very close to 100%.

This is breathtakingly mesmerizing! You went to great lengths to get this shot.. I appreciate your effort. As an amateur astronomer, this has got my heart a-beating. Sanjeev Nanda Sees The Exposed World Through A Refined Lens

Getting more than I bargained for with this one! Your Sigma 50-500 is a real beast, I must tell you that. I especially am admiring the Saturn one, since it's exactly how others have described it - having two ears on each side, elliptical looking from afar. The Jupiter one too, is no less impressive, the bands are clear as the light of day - thank you for this! Sanjeev Nanda Sees The Exposed World Through A Refined Lens

Apr 13, 2020 02:01 | #7 @Orogeny and @Capn Jack, I am truly thankful for your endeavors. Trust me when I say that they have made me extremely delightful, and amazed all the same. It really makes you appreciate the ability of the medium to invoke a sense of response, a genuine emotion within a person! Bless you both! Sanjeev Nanda Sees The Exposed World Through A Refined Lens

CapnJack Cream of the Crop More info | Apr 13, 2020 06:15 | #8 You are very welcome, thank you for the kind words. I've been to Pune once, lots of lights there. Fortunately, Jupiter is showing in the morning now, when most lights are off. You need a calm atmosphere for these shots, too.

It could extend to Saturn as well. Saturn I would say, is a better view from the Earth, only because it's quite distinguishable. Let us know your responses. ~Sanjeev Nanda A cheap telescope works better for photos of the planets, I paid $450 for my Celestron C6 SCT scope, it is 1500mm at f10.

Oh is it! I might look into that as well. Thank you! One more thing, though - do you have a camera-mount for on for your telescope? I mean, is there such a thing as a 'telescope-camera-holder' of some kind as well? Sanjeev Nanda Sees The Exposed World Through A Refined Lens

I found a cheap tracking mount for $75 used that works OK but better mounts can get pretty expensive. A good website that covers this stuff is https://www.cloudynights.com/index

Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely look to get a rig for sky-watching up and running pretty soon! An uber-magnified lens is great, if you have the patience and stability for tracking as well. By the way, I saw your picture of Jupiter that you took some time back, and man! it is something else completely! The bands on the planet look crisp and defined! I am now double excited to get myself a rig pretty soon! thanks for the prompt response once more! Sanjeev Nanda Sees The Exposed World Through A Refined Lens

nero_design Senior Member  More info | Jun 20, 2020 05:39 | #13 Saturn approaching the moon in the late afternoon. Canon EF 100-400mmL II + 2x Extender. Partial crop. I've caught Jupiter through my lens @ 400mm + 2x+2.4x extenders (1800mm+) but I needed to take a second shot to expose for Jupiter's moons. This image is cropped at 100% so the moon's surface looks a little soft. International Space Station (ISS) entering frame, Moon with earthglow and Jupiter with moons. I seem to get a lot of these sorts of shots from this lens. From memory, I think I needed to rotate this image to align the ISS with the frame of the image. Jupiter was smaller than it appears here but the choice of aperture and exposure time made in bloom. The ISS was part of a burst of frames - taken as it entered the scene. Not sure but I think I had the NiSi Natural Night Filter on the lens at the time.  Image hosted by forum (1050731) © nero_design [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. I ought to post this one... it shows the difference when I focused on Saturn through my glass door... and then took another shot after opening the door. The glass and angle-of-incidence resulted in a softening of the image. Just try to avoid shooting through glass if you are photographing planets, especially in winter time. I tried to resolve Saturn with an 85mm lens this week and had no luck. I think you'll need to be using over 300mm on an APS-C camera to get any details on Saturn or Jupiter. Taken with my camera attached to a Celestron Mak90 spotting scope. Something else you can do is buy a Spotting Scope and mount your camera lens either to the eyepiece or connect the body directly to the scope (treating the scope as a Prime lens). I've had a lot of luck using a relatively cheap Celestron Maksutov-style spotting scope. You can capture Saturn and Jupiter with it. For planetary observation, you don't really need dark skies... especially for Jupiter and Saturn. Venus and Mars can sometimes benefit from cleaner sky locations with less light pollution but can usually be imaged from a typical suburban backyard.
