Jupiter Oct 20th in reasonable seeing

[Quark]

Hi All,

Imaged Jup last night in reasonable seeing, about 6 to 7/10 with more data captured at the upper end of that range.

Have attached 2 RGB's and 2 807nm IR images. The final RGB has a nice transit + shadow transit of Europa.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor

Nice pictures Trevor, well done :D

seeing was crap down my way. I saw all that but in mono not colour.

Thanks Troy.



You certainly are having a very bad run with it Paul, reckon you must be due for a turn of fortune.

lovely images Trevor.

Very nice Trevor. For what its worth, I'm viewing this on a new ASUS laptop that I've just finished callibrating. its taken ages, but yours is the first Jupiter image I've looked at where I haven't said -"OMG check out the colours on that!":D

Very nice images yet again Trevor. I thought I was in for a top night on that date, but the humidity was very high causing Jupiter to boil. Just out of interest, do you know what the humidity was at your place? Thanks.

Thanks very much Ray. appreciate your comment.




Hi John, have been putting in considerable time on a dedicated monitor for my processing of late. I purchased an ASUS VH232T LCD monitor, have found it impossible to calibrate, the colours look very exaggerated and gaudy and on this particular model there is no way to change the aspect ratio. Being a 23" wide screen, my Jupiter images look so oblate it is not funny. I suppose I should have done more homework on the subject as this ASUS monitor is useless for my purpose.

Following on from the ASUS I have gone back to a CRT monitor that I can calibrate. So on your new calibrated Laptop how do my CRT calibrated images come up?



Thanks very much Lester, just had a look at the current humidity and it is at 23%, on the night I captured this data it was probably around 10 to 15% which is pretty typical for out these parts.

Nice work Trevor, the first one is really good.

[asimov]

That is bad luck on the ASUS monitor. I was a bit worried about the new laptop in this respect as well but after a few online google searches, decided to risk it. No aspect ratio problems thankfully.

Your images look perfect Trevor. If anything, they could all do with a slight gamma drop, but that could be either your callibration, or mine..

[Quark]

Thanks Mike, that was the one that I prefered also. A bit strange really as that was the first data set of a 2 hr 20 min session and Jup was at 53 degrees alt. Later when it was just over 61 degrees my data was not quite as good.



Thanks for that John, often wonder how my images look on other peoples screens. Looking at the variety of colour in images that get posted on various forums there must be considerable differences in the calibration, or lack there off, with monitors in general.

[Lester]

Thanks for the info on your humidity Trevor, this year it has rarely been below 70%, and I am sure that is adding to the fuzzy Jupiter images I have been seeing. Looks like we need dry/drought conditions to get good seeing down here.

All the best.
