JUPITER 2026/27 SEASON
By Christopher Go
All images were taken using a Celestron C14 (with special optics) mounted on an Astrophysics AP900GTO mount. A QHY5III585M/C (either the color and mono version) cameras were used is these images. But most of my images are captured using the color version. Mono-RGB is done using a set of Chroma Technology RGB filters on a Starlight Xpress Motorized filter wheel. Methane band images are done using a Chroma Methane Band filter (889nm 18nm bandpass). UV images are done using an Astrodon UV filter. Amplification is done using an Astrophysics Advance Convertible Barlow working at 2.0X. A PrimaLuce Labs Esatto robotic focuser is attached to my C14 for fine focusing.
Image acquisition was done using Torsten Edelmann's Firecapture 2.7 64bit software. All images are NORTH UP! Processing was done using AutoStakkert!, Registax, Winjupos and Lucky Stack Worker 7.1.
These images were captured at Banilad, Cebu City, Philippines.
