Here is a video showing the process of capturing images of Jupiter and Saturn from start to finish. I use my Celestron c9.25 telescope and zwo asi 462mc planetary camera on an AVX mount to capture these images. I had really great seeing for capturing these images, and it serves as a good example of what you can do with relatively inexpensive planetary gear. The water bottle counterweights are also out in full force. I show how the capturing process works, as well as the stacking process with autostakkert and winjupos, along with some wavelets in registax/pixinsight. I hope Y'all enjoy! If you are watching this video and want to know what is a good telescope to get for shooting the planets starting out, here is what I recommend to you: Celestron 8SE: https://bit.ly/3M88Kjv ZWO ADC: https://bit.ly/3DpmrsZ TPO Barlow: https://bit.ly/3CggBY4 Visual back: https://bit.ly/3L648Lb ASI 462MC: https://bit.ly/3xi5U6A This setup will allow you to take some really great planetary and lunar images for about $1,800.
