Well have been spending more and more time with WinJupos - attached is my first go and derotating 3 images from three separate AVI's per channel and then doing the full combination / derotation and LRGB combo.
All in all, 500 frames per file, so 1,500 frames per channel, so 4,500 frames in total plus Luminance so 6,000 frames all up.
An IR685 filter was used as a the red channel - and considering the very flickery conditions, I am surprised by the LRGB result - I would hate to see the results under really good seeing - and my oh my, what will we see next year when Jove is 60 degrees and then the year after that!
WinJupos really allows you to take processing to a new level - all this whilst Jove is at 36 degrees this year. If you are not yet using Winjupos, cannot recommend it enough, and would encourage you to do so as it's quite easy.
Nice images of Jupiter. I like viewing at the moment, but certainly working through the idea of imaging especially with great photos people keep posting here. Keep up the good work
Impressive result particularly considering the seeing. I was imagining down the road from you at about the same time and I can vouch for the challenging seeing.

I will have a go at WinJupos.
Do you use the Baader IR685 filter?
Best regards,

Hi Mark - yes, I use the Baader IR685 filter which in my mind really is a deep red filter in any case - IR in theory kicks in at 700.
Interesting about comparing the seeing - where are you located and what scope have you got?
Nicely done John, WinJUPOS has been a game changer, I generally stack 50% of my data, for Jupiter that gives me approx 7,000 frames per channel. It continues to amaze me how quite ordinary raw data can produce such unexpected results with this process.

Thanks Trev - did not realise that you stack such a high proportion of your frames. What time period do you use per channel?

Currently I go with 58 sec's per channel at 84 fps. My final RGB consists of RRRR, GGGG, BBBB. I only have a manual filter wheel so between my four R & four G channels I lose the time it takes to rotate from R to G and then from G to B, 20 secs all up. That gives an elapsed time from the start of the first R to the end of the fourth B of approx 12 min's. I generally go with stacking 50% of my data although I have had instances in exceptional seeing where I have stacked up to 90% of the data.
