Just as a matter of interest, here's one of Saturn from the same night. No need for Winjupos this time.

Thanks Steve, my colour adjustments in Photoshop are sometimes not what I expect to them to be, especially when displayed on other devices. What looks good on my Desktop can look very different on my phone for example. I often wonder what the true colour of the planets would be but I take your point, it may be off slightly.

Thanks Anthony, always encouraging. I think I'll stick with the short video grabs for Jupiter to process normally and leave Winjupos for my Mono CCd camera.

If the goal is to produce a better image, then you would as you did take the de-rotated image to another application for enhancement e.g GIMP, Photoshop, PixInsight e.t.c.
So to me what you're showing makes sense. There's no real benefit in processing through Winjupos with OSC/DSLR data (unless it's mono converted) or you want to record measurements e.t.c.
Personally I like the de-rotated version even though it has a halo because it's automatically fixed the blue cast that the combination version has. However with a little post processing both could be made to look exactly the same.
All that aside they're both great captures and I'd be happy with either version. You're always getting the best from your gear Mick. Nice work!

Thanks for your informative comments LostInSp_ce, I accept what you're saying about Winjupos. I used it on a mono shot of Jupiter I took a few days back and it worked a treat but ccd imaging the planets is a whole new ball game for me. Yes, there's not much in it when you compare the two images together, it's a lot more effort processing them in Winjupos and subtle changes in processing techniques can change things a lot.
