  Telescope

  The telescope used to get these pictures is Celestron NexStar8i. It is an 8 inch Schmidt-            Cassegrain-type telescope with full Goto-functions. The C8 has very good optics and it has   surpassed all my expectations in performance.

  Camera
  For a camera i chose the Philips ToUCam Pro II. It is a very good web camera that many have used   for astroimaging planets.
  Filters and barlows
  I have used Baader IR/UV-cut filter in all my pictures. The filter corrects some of the weak points of   the camera and cleans the images a lot. For barlows i have used two different ones: Celestron 2x   and a Orion Tri-mag 3x barlow.
