Jupiter 1 Oct in frustrating seeing

[Shiraz]

Hi. Got some fair data through 40kt winds at 200mb and local gusting south easterlies - and then spent many hours trying to work out the best way to stack it. The high altitude winds had obviously robbed the finest detail, but I still managed to convince myself during the capture runs that the feeds were OK - wishful thinking. Despite the frustration, it is nice to have an image - even a very soft one. Thanks for looking. Regards Ray

That's a ripper Ray :thumbsup:
You've done very well under difficult conditions:windy::prey2::prey2:

Is that with the 12" GSO Ray?

[Shiraz]

Hi Rob. Thanks - yes this is with the 12". Regards Ray

[Clayton]

Looks like it might be good scope Ray :question:

[Lester]

Wow, Ray if that is as bad as you are going to get with your set up, the good stuff is going to be outstanding. I'd say 75% of my Jupiter images wouldn't be within a "bulls roar" of the detail you have captured.

All the best. Thanks for the view.

[Quark]

Well done Ray, a most creditable result. You have some quite nice detail there in spite of the softness due to the Jet.

hi again Rob. Yes, the scope has potential, but as yet I haven't been able to get anywhere near it's limits - seeing has been by far the most significant limiting factor to date.

Hi Lester. That is a very generous comment. I also have lots of images that are less detailed, but I recall some Jupiter images of yours that are way better than this.

Thanks very much Trevor - looking forward to better nights.

PS just found a better dataset from later in the sequence - attached

Thats a real BEAUTY Ray :)

Both of those images are nice Ray. The last one is very sharp with lovely fine detail showing through. Congrats on capturing detail on Io. I was out that night but the seeing here was not as good as what you have there. I could see the sharp shadow but Io was no where to be seen. You got the better end of the seeing that night. :thumbsup:

[Lester]

That last image is Very nice Ray. The 12" is resolving some nice detail there. All the best.

[Shiraz]

Hi Rob - thanks very much.

Hi Paul. Thanks. The seeing sure has been very variable lately - guess it will improve soon.

Thanks Lester.

Regards Ray

Absolutely nothing soft about this last RGB Ray, what a nice result, very well done.
