Just realised it's been over 2 years since I first attempted planetary imaging. Been tinkering around with my gear and had a crack at Jupiter again the other night.
The colour may be a little off on this, but not worth me spending too much time on it. Anyone know what has caused the square pixelation, looks like the Bayer matrix showing up? Camera is DBK21 and was using a 2.5x powermate on 10" Newtonian. I have a 5x on order for better image scale.
Shot using the Y800 codec, so it appears B&W on screen and pixelated. Had some fun and games trying to get colour balance right. Tweaked the channels so that none were saturating and all approximately similar levels during capture. Still, K3CCDTools was dropping a lot of frames.
Processed in Registax 6, but followed this v5 tutorial as closely as I could: http://stargazerslounge.com/primers-tutorials/110593-registax5-1-dbk21-colour-cam-tutorial.html
The resulting image was far from correct colour balance, so adjusted as best I could.
