Jupiter reprocessed

[davidpretorius]

Hi,

from mikes great red spot techniques, i used aviraw to split my 320x240 video from a few nights ago into red, green and blue.

registax separately with soft wavelets all 1800 odd frames.

astral image, convert each to greyscale, the first lot had a ME 3x2 followed by a LR 3x2, combine, mild unsharp mask and a 3x3 median. The second used the maximum function followed by a 3x2 LR.

Not sure on which is best, but if the seeing is not great, then step back your video size, pump up the frame rate (15fps) and you can still get good images

Good stuff David. There's some excellent results coming from forum members.Keep at it.

Way'to'go David,
Nice images dude.

:cool:

Great stuff DP.

Plenty of detail and very true colour rendition.

What settings correspond to "soft wavelets"? Which of the six sliders do you move and by how much?

Thanks mate.

[davidpretorius]

1, 1, 5.8, 9.1, 11.8, 18.6

i have saved three settings soft, mediuim and hard

Thanks mate

You're doing some very nice work.

Great sight this morning with Jupiter close to the moon. Not much chop for imaging though;)

Looks good Dave.

Did you use ppmcentre on your red/green/blue avi frames? Does aviraw save the original avi as frames, or as separate avi's?

[davidpretorius]

no, i threw the lot into registax, no prefiltering via ppmcentre

The process using aviraw would have to be:

toucam avi ->aviraw = split into avi's -> virtual dub into bmps -> ppmcenter for quality and sorting -> registax each colour -> astralimage for combining etc.

i am not sure which process ie aviraw or birds script will be quicker????

some lovely detail here DP:) , a heap of work into the processing too - I need to get across this ppm centre and splitting avis into R, G and B before I get left behind :P

Very nice images DP! Compare these to images from a few months ago, you've come a long way in a short time. I didn't know about aviraw for splitting into RGB - it might be quicker than my script under Windows, but under Linux I'd put my money on the netpbm tools and my script :-)
