Renowned astrophotographer Damain Peach can surely lay claim to having taken some of the sharpest ground-based images of the planets ever obtained. However, Damian’s primary interest is in photographing the King of the Planets, Jupiter, and in his talk he will outline some of the special considerations to take into account when capturing the largest planet in the Solar System. Damian’s talk will look at how to deal with the gas giant’s rapid rotation rate during the capture phase, and how to process raw images to reveal remarkable details in its cloud bands and even its moons. Also looking at planning an imaging campaign abroad and pro-am collaborations, this talk is a must for those wanting to brush up on technique as Jupiter reaches opposition later this year.
