Cheers for that Doug, I'll give it a fly during this week of HORRIBLE Brisbane weather...
Just thought I'd post this, After reading the PDF that davidpretorius produced on his jupiter editing technique, and buying astra image, I re-processed one of the better jupiter shots from this thread using ME deconvolution and applying a little unsharp mask... Came out rather well....
Also, on the topic of my image scale / focus, I've taken other advice from this thread, and purchased a 3x barlow, in which I'll use my 2x barlow with the lense removed to increase image scale further, and also an electric focuser..
As soon as this weather clears up, I will hopefully be able to post a bigger better joop!! (thanks again to this wonderful wealth of knowledge)
Heres the re-processed pic.
Thanks everyone for your invaluable input.
Alex.
