Jupiter, 8th May

[bird]

Seeing was reasonably good for a short while this morning around 2000UT (6am local time).

Items of note are the very pale Oval BA with the dark jetstream material on one side, and a small red storm and white storm on the other. The white storm is particularly visible in the blue channel. There are a few intense red storms in the NPR as well as a bright white rift in the NEB.

Awesome words cant descibe it.

Brilliant quality/detail.
Cheers Kev.

Stunning image, Anthony. Approaching Lester's quality from a few weeks ago when he got the GRS.

That's the most resolved I've seen Oval BA this season! Awesome work.

[bird]

ps for those with smaller screens or lower res, here's a downsized version.

cheers, Bird

[iceman]

Well now that's sharper. At a lower resolution and sharpened more, it's definitely the most resolution I've seen this year now.

Some of Tomio's have a lot of features on display but is not shown as aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Whereas yours is!

Brilliant!

[Lester]

Very nice Anthony; looks like you are getting some good conditions at last.

That's a little beauty, great capture.

Thanks Lester, nothing to write home about yet - I was outside from 4am to 6.30 this morning, and got only this one decent run at about 6am ... sigh. I was almost going to give up by 5am but since it's a weekend I stayed a bit longer.

Probably do the same tomorrow morning, I'm hoping soon to find a run of good seeing that lasts more than 5 minutes :-)

cheers, Bird

[Lester]

I have to agree with Mike, the smaller image is the best I have seen for detail, sharpness and smoothness.

I tried a repro on mine and it cannot resolve what yours has and stay as smooth. The image begins to show ringing due to pushing too far.

All the best Anthony.

Do you upscale your images while processing? I've found that upscaling to 150% original size allows registax to do a better job, and then I downscale afterwards to whatever final size I think looks ok.

Not sure if you can do this directly in registax, but I use ninox first and do the upscaling and pre-centering there. Makes life a bit easier on registax.

cheers, Bird

Beautiful image Bird,
The resolution of the downsized version is brilliant and I think approaching your best from last year, maybe an example of an instance where less is more.

Top stuff, again.
Regards
Trevor

Hi Anthony, I don't upsize my image before Registax, but will look into it to see where I can resize the AVI.

Thanks for the tip.:thumbsup:

[bird]

Thanks Trev, but I'd estimate this image has about half the resolution that's possible from my location, the seeing this morning was not even close to the best from previous years so there's a long way to go yet!

cheers, Bird

Lovely images Anthony, certainly the best I have seen this apparition. Good detail showing every where. I have to say that I find Tomio's images to be a little over processed but given his location I can understand as he would be looking through the muck.

Tonight I am hoping to open my own account. You should see some good seeing in a day or so Anthony as I reckon it will be over my location tonight.

Once again, superb image.

Hello,
certainly a very good, we from Italy, we fail to obtain these results, at what altitude, in degrees, you have Jupiter, and the average seeing
you can have you in observing your site? (googlentranslation)

Congratulations Andrea
