G-HIZZY Pt.2

First attempt at gingerbread construction. Worked OK. The salted caramel cement was both very effective and also extremely tasty.

Is this the first edible hyperbolic paraboloid roof?

Jupiter

(viewed 365 times)
First few captures of Jupiter from last night.

OK, technicals: Meade 8" Schmidt-Newtonian telescope: that's f4, 821mm in photography-speak. First shot is prime focus to a Philips SPC900 webcam, black and white. Second is with a 2X Barlow added, unadjusted colour.

They're both stacks of around 100 images each, aligned and stacked in Registax 6. I tried ALE but it kept rotating images so output was confused. I think there are options I can use to stop it doing that, but I'll have another go later.
