First go with Skynyx on Jupiter

Well I imaged Jupiter for the first time with my new (and now dust free) Skynyx 2.0. Had to image between clouds in average conditions and using my new motorised filter wheel and new loptop.

It was a quick and dirty session. No change of focus between filters, no pre-sorting in NINOX, just 8 bit BMP's and under exposed histograms due to really poor transperancy all thown in Registax for processing.

The results are promising. Very low noise camera indeed.

Captured at 49fps with 1850 frames per filter. Approx. 550 frames stacked and processed in Registax for each channel, then into AstraImage and Photoshop.

Conditions are meant to be improving tommorow morning in Melbourne as the high comes over us so can't wait.

Hope others got out there.
