These are all with a 10" LX200GPS. I spent some time with the WebCam on Jupiter (you can see rotation between some of the shots.) and also unguided with the Digital Rebel using a Focal reducer to about F5.

This is my best Jupiter of the night I think.  This was taken without a barlow, but then blown up 2x in Registax.  Further processing was done with ImagePlus.

 

 

This next one is taken with a yellow filter then I used ImagePlus to try and get the colors back in balance.  Still a lot of learning to go on this I think.

 

This is the same AVI, only reprocessed a couple ways to bring out the other moon and expanded 2x.

 

The following was taken again with a yellow filter and also a 2x barlow.  Interesting that the size of Jupiter looks bigger than when using a 2x resizing in Registax.  I think my barlow is a bit stronger than 2x.

 

This is a combination of a couple pictures produced from 2 different AVIs.  One AVI was brighter to give me the moons. However that was too bright to give Jupiter details. A different AVI was used to give Jupiter details.  Yellow filters and 2x Registax processing used on both.

 

 

 

This is my first attempt at M1, the crab nebulae.  I used a focal reducer on my 10" LX200 to get it to around F5.  The Digital Rebel as at ISO800 and it was an unguided 155 second exposure.  Note that I actually took 6 unguided exposures, but the star trails were too long/visible in all but one of  them.  It was cropped, Bin3x and developed in ImagePlus.

 

 

Here is M36. (open Cluster) 44 Sec exposure ISO800 Bin4x.

 

Here is M67. (Open Cluster)  44 Sec exposure ISO800 Bin4x.

 

Here is NGC2281. (I think.) (Open Cluster)  155  Sec exposure ISO800 Bin4x.
