Jupiter from poor conditions in Sydney

[Startrek]

Took a quick video on BYEOS planetary mode last night during a break in the clouds
Jetstream was racing across the sky and light and heavy cloud moving around as well
Fitted a Televue 4 x powermate to the Canon 600D, set BYEOS to 5 x zoom and captured a 1500 frame AVI file at ISO 400 exposure set at 1/60

Stacked in Autostakkert 3 and sharpened in Registax 6

I’m still getting atmospheric dispersion at 45 deg elevation, notice the thin blue halo on top of the planet and a thin orange halo at the bottom

A disappointing result but conditions were less than favourable

Just wanted to capture something last night

Cheers

Martin you call that disappointing, man you should have seen my attempt at his Planet, some years ago :rolleyes:

Yours is beautiful, well done indeed. :thumbsup:

Leon :thumbsup:

That is a shot I’d be super happy with. I know if I posted that on FB my friends and family would go ballistic. You should have seen the iPhone shot I posted of Saturn popping out from the shadow of the moon the other night, now that was atrocious.

Thanks Leon and Paul
This image was captured with my 6” f6 newt not the 8” which is a great scope
The Planet was jumping around a bit and fading in and out during the 40 second video capture
It did clean up and sharpen ok but I know I can improve a lot on this one when conditions are much better
Can’t wait to get down the coast in the winter months and capture Jupiter up nice and high in good seeing conditions with my 8” f5
Also time the capture to include the GRS too
Thanks again guys

Thanks very much Marc
I’m away for 2 weeks from tomorrow so a break from astronomy for a bit
Back into it again late May
Cheers
