Jupiter September 15th 2020

[Quark]

Imaged Jupiter September 15th in good seeing at all wavelengths. Have a significant volume of data and it is all good, have animations at all wavelengths other than UV. Have good depth of resolved detail across the field. Of course outburst #1 dominates these data, I quite like Damian’s description of it as “The Jovian Comet” seems quite appropriate. Other detail I note is a concentrated bright spot within the NEB resolved at all wavelengths along with a very dark thin band on the Southern edge of the NEB; particularly prominent in IR and CH4 data. All data from this session has been uploaded to PVOL.

That's awesome Trev. Love the colors you're getting. Mine's too green. Again. :lol: That CH4 filter you're using is that Methane? Also do you need longer exposures when using UV?

[Quark]

Yep Marc CH4 is Methane, I have the ZWO filter which is centered on the Methane line so a 20nm pass centered on the 889nm line. The CH4 and UV clearly need longer exposures. I play with the exposure to get a frame rate that I am happy with. I don't like maxing out the histo so try for around 90% with an exposure for CH4 that gives me 30fps and with the UV 20 fps. I guess this is where the aperture plays a big part when using filters such as CH4 & UV and to a lesser extend the various IR filters.

[multiweb]

20fps in UV is impressive. You've got a light bucket.

I should also have added that for CH4 and UV I use 2x Binning.

[multiweb]

Excellent. I have a UV baader filter supposed to be good for Venus. Will try it out.:thumbsup:

Good images and information Trevor. :)
