Jupiter 2021Nov22

Profile=Jupiter
Diameter=39.25″
Magnitude=-2.35
Altitude=29.35°
Airmass=2.04
CMI=19.4° CMII=182.6° CMIII=31.3° (during mid of capture)

This is the last image of the night’s run… still needs collimating.. and the colour issue still needs to be resolved. This was with our ZWO ASI190MC camera:

Your Price: $379.99
ZWO ASI290 Colour Camera
The ZWO ASI290MC is a CMOS camera that is awesome for lunar, solar, and planetary imaging, and can even capture deep sky images. The ASI290MC uses the Sony IMX290/291 color 1/3″ CMOS 2.13 MP sensor, with a 1936 x 1096 array of 2.9um pixels. This sensor has extremely low read noise of 1.0e at 30db gain and can fire off a maximum of 170 FPS at full resolution.
The ZWO ASI290MC body has a back focus of 12.5mm. A high speed USB 3.0 port, ST4 guide port, 1/4 tripod thread mount on the back

But I was able to compare and contrast with another ZWO camera.. the ASI224MC. It has similar specs.. within an order of magnitude.

zwo asi224mc $249USD 1/3″ sensor 1.2MPixel ver 1.3 low noise 0.75-1.5e; suggests USB3 todays price from lire du nature is $389Can – not cooled. cooled version is $779 Can
