My 2nd try at Jupiter

Hi all
used my 840K toucam on the 10 inch f5.6 newt. on Jupiter again, waiting for a night where seeing seemed okay.
Its about 150 frames stacked, processed in Registax folowing Mike Salways very handy instructions in his imaging Jupiter article on IIS. I actually aligned the stack using the Jovian moon there. I used a Meade 2.8x three element Barlow as the only xtra magnification. Filtering out the lower quality images sure makes a difference. (total amount was about 400 frames) Initially I just stacked the whole sequence but it wasnt near as good as this. So then I read up on Mike's instructions. I could probably improve further using , say, 5x magnification and using the other software that Mike mentions but for now will experiment with registax.
Note, colour balance for the toucam is manually set to "outdoor"
Thanks goes to Mike for freely providing the very useful instructions on IIS
