Lovely image Asi!! Stunning.
LR Deconvolution is a process to undo the convolution of the optics. Essentially the process analyses a star knowing that it should be a pinpoint of light and works out what the optics did to it to make it the shape on the image.
I have always been higly suspect of doing LR Decon on planets and am of the view that the results are from good luck rather than true LRD. The reaon being is that with a stacked/processed planetary images there is essentially no information left in the image that accurately conveys the convolution of the optics. It has all been processed out. LRD is a process that theoretically should only be applied to RAW images before any processing has been done & the optical information is still present......
However that said, the consistant results that are shown here and in a lot of other planetary images (eg Mike's) indicate that benefit can still be had by using LRD on processed images. Perhaps a "standard best guess" PSF (point spread function) is used?
Well done Asi.. Great image!
Cheers
