Folks,
First time I've had a chance to get out on what was forecast to be a half-decent night, so I set out to get some shots of Jupiter. As (mis)fortune would have it, Io was transiting, which makes the processing a little more interesting :lol:
Anyhow, here's my usual gaudy result, almost certainly too much colour and a little over sharpened, but why not ;) through the eyepiece Jupiter was looking quite exquisite at times with lots of swirls on show, you could almost run your finger through the white current around the GRS and the Io's shadow was especially sharp, although the moon itself is almost impossible to see visually against the glare of Jupiter.
Still some more data to trawl through, but I think this is probably the pick of it.
Kit: C11 Edge HD, TV Powermate 2.5x, ZWO ASI224MC.
Edit: I've added a version without all the razzmatazz :help:
Cheers,
Dunk
