Jupiter, Io and Europa

[mikeash]

Hi everybody

This image taken at a higher gain than I normally use and in variable seeing. I guess I got lucky as non of the other avi's came close to this.

GSO 10" 2x barlow, ToUcam840, capture with QASTROCAM
gain 77% , 10 FPS
500/900 frames image re sampled x1.7
GREYCstoration noise reduction (Gimp plug in)
seeing 3 to 6/10 variable (wavy like bad tube currents)
transparency 7/10

Wow, that's sweet. How do you get such a large image scale with only a 2x barlow? Has the image been scaled up?

cheers

Nice image Mike, with good detail, and colour.

Thanks guys,

Marko the image is scaled 1.7 times in registax and I forgot to add I use a short extension tube with the 2x barlow to give about 3x total. Camera also used in raw mode and use registax de-bayer option
