Jupiter - July 7th

Hi All,

I am still processing through what I captured last night, first light for the PGR Dragon Fly Express. Thanks again to the kind and generous help of Bird, I was setup and ready. Unfortunately I have discovered that my diagonal was the source of ths dust, so I was wasting a lot of time geting Jupiter to sit in an area which was dust free. The Barlow's magnify this dust. I was thinking of a new diagonal anyways so thats now on the list of things.

I mostly ran with the TAL 3x barlow because the 5x powermate magnified the dust to much.

I used 30fps at 50seconds giving me about 1500 frames and I used half of those to get this first image which was actually my final run for the night before i called it quits. Possibly the best because it was around 9:32pm, and Jupiter was getting quiet high.


I ran it through Registax, wavelets (mild and final as per Mike's guide), then LR deconvolve 7 iterations at 1.4 radius. Level and auto stretch. Thats it.
Edit: I think i did a bit more wavelets than I thought i had.
2nd one is same as above, but LR 8 with 1.2 experimenting.

Regards
