First Jupiter from a great night! 25/05/2006

Hi all.

Here's the first avi from a great night last night. I started quite early, around 8:50pm and finished around 10:00pm when the seeing started to deteriorate.

In that time I captured 7 "normal size" avi's and a few (I think) at the large size with the extension tube. I'm not sure how many, because my tracking was not accurate at that stage, so I captured many small avi's and have to see how many I can join together.

For this shot, I captured at 5fps for 120 seconds, at 1/25s exposure. Gain was around 30% and gamma 50%.

Normal processing, split RGB, process each channel, 150 frames of each channel stacked, followed by LR 7x1.4 in AstraImage. Ganymede was aligned and stacked separately (each channel as well), and composited onto the final image in Photoshop.

Comments welcome
