Here is one of my efforts from last night. Biggest change was moving away for "SharpCap" to "FireCapture". After a bit of research, multiple Youtube videos on the subject and a bit of a learning curve I was confident enough to give it a go and I was happy with the results.
The weather was also behaving itself here in Melbourne and the Jetstream was quite stable at about 65 Kmph. Tonight, will be better, see attached image for Skippy Weather, so stay tune for my next thread.
Equipment as usual is the Meade 12"LX200GPS, 2x Tele Veu Powermate, ZWO UV/IR Filter and the ZWO ASI244MC. Before I started imaging the collimation was checked with "Metaguide" and you can see by the attached image how well the telescope is collimated.
The image of Jupiter was captured at 11:57 am last night, settings are:
Frames captured=15318
FPS (avg.)=127
ROI=640x480
Shutter=1.657ms
Gain=375 (62%)
Image was processed through AutoStakker, RegiStax 6 and a little tweak with GIMP.
Hope You enjoy.
Cheers
