My first adventures into planetary imaging - Jupiter 4 Dec
Hello everyone
I'm usually a Deep Sky person, but recently decided to take the plunge into planetary stuff, to see what I can get. I took a set of Jupiter photos on the night of 4 Dec, and just got around to processing them.
The scope is a William Optics 132mm APO refractor, with 5x televue barlow giving FL4625mm. The camera is a DMK21 mono firewire (almost first light for it, except for a few test runs), with LRGB filters that came from my Meade DSI II pro. Its a small scope for planets, but its the one I've got from deep sky.
Each colour are approximately stacks of 900 frames. I would really appreciate any comments on the processing, is it too harsh, colour balance etc? The seeing was not too bad at the start of the night, but got worse very fast.
I've also included a gif of the rotation through R filter. Hope it works.
Cheers,
George
