This was my first attempt of a rotation for Jupiter with my 80mm refractor with an FL of 900mm, with F11 (next time I’ll make the ROI bigger)

dull venture Did u sharpen more?

Tried to

#

But there is so many frames I have homework, I put in the settings in regi for the first one and copied them on all of them

#

Should be fine though

Really good details for a setup this size, can't really say anything that hasn't already been said.

What refractor model did you use?

#

Ah ok, cool!

#

That one's optics are decently nice for what it is, it's the mount that sucks.

#

90x magnification at f/11 isn't bad either, a decent budget planetary scope, although I personally wouldn't use it on anything but that.

#

well, surely the moon would look decent, and probably the sun too (with proper filtration of course)

#

looking at the sun is one of my greatest fears with a telescope, i wont be doing solar, however moon is really ncie yeah

twilit dagger looking at the sun is one of my greatest fears with a telescope, i wont be doing...

well, proper filtration is all you need to turn that fear into a fascination.

You could get yourself a black polymer solar filter from a reputable supplier to see sunspots (or a white-light filter, slightly more expensive), and if you have the budget someday, a dedicated Ha Solar Telescope to view the sun's chromosphere.

#

you've already surmounted the first hurdle, knowing the sun is incredibly dangerous to view without proper filtration, so that's good atleast.

Definitely haha
