Jupiter from Slovakia

Hello all,

here is my attempt from my balcony in Nitra. Used 8"/f5 Newton, 10mm plossl, QHY5 mono and Panasonic FZ-18. Finally I tested my little camera for planetary imaging. I also tried for LRGB composite. As luminance I used image from QHY5 and for color layer, image from Panasonic FZ-18. I simply overlayed the L and RGB image in PS with 25% opacity for color layer. I know, that it is not the best way for LRGB compozite, but I still learning about image processing and camera settings.

Anyhow, can I ask how long exposures are u usually use for Jupiter imaging? I usually set around 15-25 ms with IR filter and gain around 60-85%, when seeing is 6/10 or better (FL around 4 meters).


Best Regards


Roman
