Jupiter 2011-11-11

Poor conditions really, there was high level cloud, and the best seeing seemed to be early in the evening when Jupiter was low in the sky.

Amazing how hard it has been to get a decent Jupiter this year!

Anyhow, for what it is worth, here's the best of a poor bunch. DMK21AU04 camera, C11 SCT at f/20.

Good effort anyway Ivan, the detail is there just hiding a little that's all. I'm hoping tonight's the night for some good imaging. Look forward to seeing some more, good luck and clear skys.

Bad luck about the seeing Ivan :(
looks like it would have been a beauty in good conditions.

Hi Ivan. looks like seeing was the problem - everything is working against us this year. Regards Ray

I had another look at this data -- and found that Registax 5 actually seems to do a better job of stacking than Registax 6 when dealing with poor data.

Here I used a single big alignment box, this is luminance only. Probably not going to spend any more effort on this data, but maybe interesting to know in case you need to capture a specific event in poor seeing conditions.
