Jupiter this morning

Seeing got to 7/10 in Melbourne after midnight which is excellent for here!

2 images attached taken with 12.5" f/5 and NextImage, 300 frames, 10 FPS, 1/20 exp., processed in Registax, and then also processed in AstraImage.

For Registax the setting used were:

WAVELETS SLIDERS
1: 1
2: 3.8
3: 10.5
4: 18.6
5: 36.7
6: 77.8

Gamma: 0.7; Contrast 163, Brightness 2; Some Histo Stretch

Then for the second image the standard set up in Astra Image ME Deco (7 iterations at 1.7), Alpha Trimmed Mean (3x3) and some unsharp masking.

Unfortunetaly the seeing did not last, by the time I woke up again at 4.00am for the joint HST/Amateur project, the high cloud had moved in and I could hardly even make out the shape of the GRS with seeing down to 1-2/10!!

Hope everyone has had a huge night! Comments welcome!

John.
