Jupiter 6th Dec 09

[Clayton]

Not quite as good tonight. The fast seeing was worse but the slow was better. Resulting in not quite as crisp an image :(
Just another quick and dirty process as I'm still tired :rolleyes:
The usual gear. 8", f6, Newtonian. 2x Barlow, ToUcam 840K, Registax V5, CS3.

That's not too bad Clayton. How do you set the white balance? The colours look to be a little muted, and too far towards the yellow I thinl.

Good image for the equipment your using :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike and Troy,
I don't normally play with white balance Mike but it is set to manual. I did recently adjust it for Mars, but thought I'd put it back:question: (I raised the blue, maybe I put it back too far?)
Suddenly people are commenting on the muted contrast and yellow cast:rofl: I must look back on some old stuff to see if I have changed, or maybe the camera settings, or my monitor calibration may be crook.
The other factor that has been raised as a possible cause is that I have no UV or IR filter on the camera :shrug: do you think this will help :question:
Also what role does Gamma play in this, as it is set fairly low as well?

[Clayton]

Don't worry about the artifacts:rolleyes: Is this colour better or worse:question:
Whoops The left image is the repro and the right is the original

Nice image of Jupiter Clayton, I like the second to last image for colour and contrast.

All the best.

Thanks Lester :)
Whoops I forgot to say that It was the repro and the last image was just a repost of the first for easy comparison :P
