Jupiter/Ganymede, poor seeing, March 1, Brisbane.

Not much to write home about with this one...but I'm happy because it's my first RGB of Jupiter this apparition using the DMK 21AF04 and Astronomik filters.

The seeing pretty much obliterated any fine detail.

Not to worry. It was more about the process than the final result.

Quite happy with the colour and overall appearance. This one shows pretty bad onions rings on the Mrs' monitor...but looks OK on mine

I think the rings were introduced at capture, but wasn't aware the DMK was capable of producing rings? Perhaps I need to boost gain and gamma, or increase the exp length to get a more full histo? It was barely past the halfway mark on the graph. I'm sure I didn't correctly expose.

Looking forward to better conditions.
