Hi all,
I imaged Jupiter yesterday morning in the best seeing I have seen for a long while, it wasn’t perfect but it was very good however the green data was still behind the red in terms of detail with the blue a long way further behind.
See attached image taken on UT 5th Feb 2016 at 17:15. Red, green and blue data each collected for 50 seconds at 30 FPS. I stacked 600 from 1500 frames for all colours.
After stacking the data it seemed a shame to accept the imperfect stacking of the three colours due to the planets rotation so I finally bit the bullet and used WinJupos to derotate them. I had never used it before and found the tutorial by Milika and Nicholas very useful although I still found the process a little imperfect but I suspect that was due to my lack of experience.
My habit is often to apply too much sharpening but having considered Phil’s discussion I tried to restrain myself with conservative "feather duster" sharpening. I am happy with it although I'm still fighting the urge to process it further...
Best regards,
Mark
