Striker's Jupiter

Tony,

Here's my attempt at processing your Jupiter avi. It's actually quite a good image.

What settings did you use? (shutter, framerate etc)
How long was your capture? (how many minutes/seconds)
Was it with the ED80 or C11?

A couple of suggestions:
- It looks like you turned the brightness up to capture the moons.. while that's well and good, it can overexpose the planet, and that's what appears ot have happened here. The middle EQ zone is a tad overexposed. I prefer to have the planet properly exposed the forget about the moons.
- Use a barlow to increase the image scale, if the seeing is ok. It looks like the seeing wasn't the best for this image, but I think it could've stood up to at least a 2x barlow (assuming you were using the C11).

Other than that, it's a good image! You should be happy!

Processed in registax and astraimage.
