Lightbulb John K's amazing Jupiter - reprocessed

Hi all

I asked John if I could have a play with his amazing Jupiter image, posted in this thread.

He kindly sent me the R, G and B channels after stacking and wavelets were applied in Registax.

I did some mild LR deconvolution in AstraImage, followed by making a synthetic Luminance channel from the layered R,G,B channels in Photoshop.
The L channel had some mild noise reduction, curves and levels applied, and was used as luminance for the colour data from the recombined R,G,B image.

Further saturation, levels and curves adjustment gave the attached image. There's a bit of cross-hatching on the left hand side due to underexposure + resampling.

John's original, for comparison, is here.

I'm pleased with how it turned out. Man, what an awesome capture. Incredible image John. I wish it was my data!

Thanks for letting me have a play.
