The problem has to be me. I must be doing something wrong. I see all
these lovely planeteary pics, and I can get nothing like these results.
I am putting well focused videos into Registax, and following the instructions given in various tutorials and astro imaging books step by step, and yet the final result is only as good as, or marginally better than the chosen reference frame. I have tried every combination of every possible adjustment known to man, and all I end up with is tantalising hints of surface features[other than the main rings on Jupiter]. Just can't get even a reasonably sharp image. Unsharp masking in PS doesn't help
much either. HELP
P.S. I even stopped my scope down to 3 different diameters to simulate different exposures when trying my DSLR's video
function. Incidentally, I have had slightly better results than with the webcam.
P.P.S. Regardless of under, correct, or over exposure, I get almost no trace of colour on Jupiter, and almost none appears
by manipulating the various colour controls in Registax or PS.
