Jupiter from Brisbane 12/05/2008 4:57am

Hi all,

Very excited to have another Jupiter image. Tried imaging from about 1am onwards but Jupiter was swimming even at 4:30am. Around 5:00am, the conditions suddenly improved and I got a couple of reasonable AVIs

Colour not as good as the last one but very happy with the detail.

Details:

First image time: 11/05/2008 19:57 UT
Second image time: 11/05/2008 20:03 UT
Location: Brisbane, Australia
Scope: C8 with Ultima 2x and extension
Camera: SPC900NC
Focal length: 7m
Focal ratio: f/35
Processing:
Stacked best 2000 of 3000 frames in registax.
Wavelets in registax.
Separate processing of RGB channels.

Sorry about the JPG but even with the most aggressive crops cannot fit an uncompressed BMP into the 200k limit.

All comments/advice most welcome. Thanks for looking.

I don't know if this is of any use to the Hubble Jupiter campaign on the weekend?

Have fun,
Doug
