This is from last night, more excellent seeing. This is not the finished image, this is an intermediate that I use to go back and refine the raw data before I make the final image, but I wanted to post it anyway, the end result will be noticeably better :-)
Yeah, the moon had finished transit about 30 minutes earlier and is off to the lower left (outside the scope of the image).
Here's the refined version, made by the "morhping" option to ninox, this is where you provide a reference image and ninox morphs (distorts) all the raw frames so that the major features all line up with the reference image. The end result is a sequence where all the primary features are in exactly the same place.
So anyway, here's the resulting image, not that all these images are resampled to 150% of original size.
This image is larger than previous images because I added more extension onto my 5x powermate last night, getting to about 14.3m focal length. Jupiter almost filled the height of the ccd :-)
works, but the morphing is not described on that page.
aah, ok - I'll fix that shortly, looks like an old copy of that page has been put back in one of my updates a while back and is missing some extra stuff.
The morphing stuff has been there for about 18 months, originally written for processing lunar images, but if you have good quality planetary data then it seems to work ok on it as well.
Gees Oh, That is one of the best earth images of Juipter i have seen.
Bird what was the seeing like and what telescope was used to take the image. WELL DONE!
