Jupiter last night in good conditions

Well it's been a looooooong time since we've had decent seeing for planetary viewing, but the clouds parted for a few hours and as soon as I observed Jupiter through the eyepiece it was clear that conditions were very nice.

Anyhow - the seeing stayed pretty good but the transparency was getting worse so before I lost the opportunity I took a few videos - first in mono IR and then in osc RGB. It was really up and down by now but I think I got a couple of ok captures.

I tried something different in processing. Thanks to Mickoid for the idea of adding IR as a luminance layer to the RGB image - I managed to do this in GIMP. First though, I had to derotate in Winjupos to match the time stamps although for some reason that seemed to deaden the colour a bit.

I've attached both the original and combined images...

Hope you like the result - shame the GRS wasn't in view but consolation prize for a very late night out was watching Glen Maxwell performing a miracle in India...

Details:
c14 non edge
eq8
asi178mm (IR685 filter) 1x 1min capture
asi462mc (UV/IR filter) 1x 1min capture
ASICAP
AS!3
Registax6
Winjupos
GIMP

When I can find a bit more time I'll play with the other 30 odd captures from the night and see if I can combine them all in Winjupos to extract out a few more details.

Thanks for looking!
