Observing Notes 26th April 2016 - Jupiter (Best Yet) With Double Barlow

Tried imaging Jupiter with a double Barlow arrangement - DSLR with T-adaptor x2 Barlow tube inserted into another x2 Barlow tube and then into diagonal (no focal reducer). Camera was set to video at 25 FPS and 640 x 480px. I noted that the image of Jupiter on the live screen of the camera was noticeably dimmer with the 2 Barlow x4 arrangement than with just a single Barlow, so set shutter speed to 1/30 second and video FPS at 25 (have to turn manual video settings ON Nikon D3200 menu options).


Results were reasonably successful once 3-minute video was stacked in Registax:
