My planetary filter experiment.
I am not sure if this is the right place to post about filters, so here it goes.
I did an experiment last night I wanted to share. Last night, I was viewing Jupiter with the setup in my signature. I was using a cheap camera, an orion starshoot camera 2. I used the following filters and got pictures with each one. 12, 21, 56, and 82A. I also got a picture with no filter.
Here are the pictures I took with each filter:
I learned a lot about filters last night, and I am still learning. Each has its own use. I just got to keep experimenting to figure out the use of each filter I have.
That's all I wanted to share. Let me know what you think of my experiment.
By the way, I am eventually going to go from a cheap planetary camera to a more high quality one.

Re: My planetary filter experiment.
I like the No Filter and #56 captures best,
the # 12 would be runnerup to the 56.
Best of luck with the imaging and upgrading your camera, your getting some great hands on with your experiments and observations, upward and onward indeed...
