Good Seeing (finally) on Friday night.

[Retrograde]

Managed to grab a couple of planetary images on Friday night.
This is the first of them.

Scope: Skywatcher MN190
Camera: ZWO ASI120MC
Televue 4x Powermate.

Captured about 12000 frames and stacked the best 25%.

This is my best attempt at Jupiter so far.

C & CC welcome as always. :thumbsup:

That’s a winner Pete!
Nice ripples showing up in the bands.
Good one.

Nice one Pete :thumbsup:

Were you shooting through a CLS filter? It’s sporting a trendy teal tint ;)

[Retrograde]

Thanks Dunk!

No CLS filter I'm afraid - just a lack of experience in colour balancing planetary images. :lol:
Appreciate the feedback on that. :thumbsup:

[Camelopardalis]

No worries Pete, Jupiter gives us a bit of a hand this year as the white zones are wider, so what I would do is zoom in on those areas while colour balancing and get them as white white as you can. Everything else will follow :)

Thanks for the advice Dunk!
