Your images are brilliant.
I loaded your one from 2 nights ago into Registax as a single
JPG and it can tolerate a bit more wavelets so your technique could be
a bit less gentle and still get away with it.
What was your cuttoff % and number of frames in the stack?
I have a few shocker dustbunnies on my chip that show up as
artifacts and not true data.
Here is my effort from tonight with my GSO Newt and SPC900

Hi Steve,
Didn't realize you were on Iceinspace, great to hear from you.
You are doing some very nice work with Jupiter yourself, what software did you use for your animation?
My 2x Jupiter images are captures of 1000 frames per channel, each channel in 40 sec's. I set the cutoff in RegiStax at 95% of the tagged frame, this generally gives me about 400 frames per channel to stack.
Each final RGB 2x image is about 1200 frames.
Last night was my first imaging attempt with my 3x Bintel barlow, again I captured 1000 frames per channel, each channel for 40 sec's. The overall quality was not as good as at 2x, so set cutoff at 90% which resulted in about 300 frames to stack for each channel.
Obviously I need to experiment further at 3x, don't see much point in trying for a larger image just for the sake of getting a larger image. If that comes at the detriment of the image quality.
Regards
Trevor
