I've been experimenting with my DMK41 for the first time since I got it over a year ago and decided to point it at Jupiter.
The result was my best Jupiter to date but there is still work to do.

Taken in 6" f/8 newt, dmk41, x2 barlow and uv/ir cut filter.

Out of the 3 stacking programs used the best I felt came from AS!2 which even got one of the moons.

Any pointers would be great.

Good job, plenty of banding visible.

Thanks guys, going to try without the SW X2 Barlow next and see as some people say it can do more damage than good.
I'll also have another go at trying to get an onscreen image with the Tal X3 which has proven elusive to me so far.

Looking really good for a focal length around 2.4m. Add more image scale and RGB filters, and you're away! :thumbsup:

You just reminded me that I do have some cheap RGB filters that should work but the main issue here is I can't find the G at the moment. I'm sure it'll turn up in a box from the move somewhere.
