14 August Daytime Jupiter 2 transit shadows and GRS

[Lester]

Hi everyone,

couldn't let this one go without a try 5:20 pm CST= Io and Europa shadow transit and GRS. Had a job to get colour any where near acceptable, due to blue sky and sun shine.

Nice shootin' Lester. :)

[RB]

Hey that's great Lester, wow.

:thumbsup:

[Lester]

Thanks Paul.

I managed to brighten the image a bit. There is detail there, but cannot get rid of the yellow cast, without increasing the blue.

What are you using to try to adjust the colours?

[iceman]

Very nice Lester, excellent scale and a top notch image.

I reckon I could pull something out if you're happy for me to play with it?

Have you got a stacked version I could play with?

[RB]

Hope you don't mind Lester but I had a quick play with your image.
(I've got no images of my own at the moment to process....:doh: )

Tried to boost the levels and bring the black point down.
Unfortunatly the noise also started to appear.
I'm sure Mike can bring out the detail.

That is a lovely capture Lester!!

Very well done mate. I'm happy that you got it! :)

I'll leave it up to the others to reprocess your image.

Great work Lester, looks amazing not one but two moons.

[Lester]

Thanks everyone for your replies. Good luck with the colour adjustment. I was just processing it in Astra Image. I had to adjust the capture program from auto to manual otherwise Jupiter was very orange. When I capture at night I just leave it on auto and the colour comes out just fine, but not when shooting in daylight.

Mike what would you like me to send you and what size? Keep in mind that there is no broadband here for quick send and recieve stuff.

[Lester]

Hi Andrew,

Yes that image you reprocessed is a great improvement on mine. Well done.

[Dennis]

Hi Lester

Another excellent image under very difficult circumstances. You are a master of this - well done.

Cheers

Dennis

Hey Lester, that's a great image and in Daylight. Looks like the seeing must have been OK too the detail seems quite sharp :thumbsup:

[Lester]

Hi Robert and Dennis,

Jupiter was not very stable on the laptop screen, so I am surprised at how much detail was revealed.

[iceman]

I'm trying to process what I captured last evening of the double transit, they horrible so far :(

[Lester]

Hey, for those that are interested there will be another double shadow transit next Monday 6pm till 7:45.

[asimov]

Yep, all the up & coming interesting joop stuff; triple J has already kindly informed us.

[ving]

triple j, had no idea you were so hip asi! :P

fantastic lestery! :)

[iceman]

I've gone through my 9 avi's from yesterday evening, it looks like 1 of them will have something worth posting. Will finish processing it in the morning.

I might even make a low quality animated gif of the blurry shadows :)

[Lester]

Hi everyone,

Here is an earlier image. With similar processing and the image has turned out brighter.

[iceman]

Amazing image Lester, just great!

[iceman]

Lester, I had a go at processing your jpeg and got this result..

Very difficult to get the right balance. The channels needed some re-alignment too, so you might want to look at your original again if you ever want to re-do it yourself.

Amazing image, congratulations!

[Lester]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that. The first image I put up= the blue channel was very dark. The last one I put up= the blue channel was much lighter. I was manually playing around with the colour settings at capture and in a hurry, so I am happy with the result.

[Lester]

Hi,

I have just been tweeking.

[jjjnettie]

Great capture Lester.
The seeing was horrible where I am, 2-3/10. I didn't know the GRS was going to make an appearance as well!
