Jupiter with Great Red Spot, October 2022

It took weeks trying for the right chance, but I finally was able to decently photograph Jupiter and its Great Red Spot this year.

After Jupiter opposition this year, I started using my MacBook as a camera screen extension. In this article, I show results from over a week.

It’s been a while since I included any of the Galilean moons in a posted Jupiter image, so here is for making up lost time, through my Dobsonian.

On the morning of 9/1, I shot the videos which made up his image of Jupiter, likely the best I can do with my entry-level DSLR camera.

Years of trying to perfect my planetary imaging techniques may have finally culminated in a night where all of my image sets were excellent.

“Planet season” officially began for me this early morning as I observed and photographed both Saturn and Jupiter before their oppositions.

Tonight’s Lunar image was from a wide-angle view. I chose this cropping for balance, acknowledging the lack of surrounding trees.

For this evening’s ISS photo session, I used nova.astrometry.net to map the surrounding constellations.

The Summer of tracking the ISS continued tonight, this time with a fly-through of The Big Dipper, and an extremely close encounter with Polaris.

Welcome to July. Tonight’s sky observation presented a remarkably clear view of the 5% illuminated Moon about a half hour after Sunset.
