Jupiter, the Moon and SN2014J
Friday, March 7, 2014 at 12:25PM Sunny with a bit of a chill in the wind but fine nevertheless.
A clear evening - I tried to improve polar alignment by centreing Polaris through the sighting hole in the polar axis - relying on a 6 star alignment of the CGEM.
Jupiter was the first target. This is Jupiter seen on the APT screen with its 4 moons. A 10 second exposure at 1600 ISO.
The moons of Jupiter are identified in the image below.
THe Moon was imaged - this is it displayed in APT
In a 30 second image through the ETX 90 I could just see supernova SN 2014J
This is the supernova through my C14 on 23rd January 2014
