repro Jupiter June28

[Shiraz]

Apologies for re-posting oldish data, but I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to get the best out of Registax 6 and managed to significantly improve the stacking on previously posted Jupiter data from a night of fairly good seeing - enhanced the detail quite a bit, but at the cost of greater noise. Thanks for looking - very grateful for constructive feedback. Regards Ray

That is very nice! Yes, once the settings are nailed in Registax 6 I can't imagine anyone going back to an earlier version. It does take time & experimentation to find those optimum settings.

Regarding noise: Part of my workflow is to purposely over sharpen, & then hit it with a low percentage gaussian blur mask.

Thanks John.
Yes, Registax 6 is certainly very powerful in ordinary seeing. I got improved results by doing a 100 image sub stack + a little enhancement, to generate a reference image, and then doing the final stack using that high quality reference.
Thanks very much for the tip on noise reduction, will try it - I have been using what I assume are the non-linear noise filters in the R6 wavelet layers, but the results seem to be overly sensitive to settings and I am not quite sure how the linked wavelets work anyway. Regards Ray

I tend to stay clear of Guassian & linked waveletts. I do get good results with that scheme for any lunar AVI's though.

I still prefer my linear default scheme for planets.

Very nice image of Jupiter, Ray. Hope you get some more good ones soon.

Great shot Ray and well done on the rework :thumbsup:
