Jupiter again
My success with imaging Jupiter has been pretty patchey to date. Of course I blame seeing before myself. But last night I had a bonus night of reasonably good seeing here in the SE Qld coast - only decent seeing for the past 6 months or so really. So I trundled out some gear to take advantage.
This time, I used my:
ED127 (North Group) F/7.5 refractor
Powermate x2 2 inch
ASI290MC (with 2.9 micron pixels)
EQ6 mount.
SharpCap for capture and PiPP, AS3 and RS6 for processing.
I did 60 second sequences using a ROI of 400x400 which gave me about 140 fps which wasn't bad and I stacked 15 to 20 percent. Here are a couple of examples.
There is quite a bit more detail in the result than I have managed before. I will be the first to admit that others have done better and will contiinue to do so. But I am my own benchmark these days. I find it kinder to the ego to only compete with myself.
