Jupiter Soft???
Hello Everyone,
I setup the scope for photographing the sky last thursday night/friday morning. It looks to me that my tracking/guiding was way more accurate this time since I was able to get 10 minute exposures at a lower ISO and trails were less then 5 min exposures before (on some frames the tracking was spot on) and fluked better focus this time (Bahtinov Mask is coming).
My dilema is with Jupiter. I tried to get a image of Jupiter using the Imaging Source DMK41AU CCD camera & 2X barlow, I took 2000 frames at 15 fps (1/15th & 1/8sec sec) through each of the Red+IR Cut, Green+IR Cut, Blue+IR Cut color filters and for the luminance channel captured 2000 frames through just the IR cut filter and another through IR cut and the LPR/UHC filter. All channels stacked "best 700 frames" in RegiStax 6.
After not being able to acheive spot on focus, I suspected a collamination problem, it was a little out, so I adjusted it (to me looked like the central obstruction was dead center, and focus/cloud bands were better but still no detail... surely I should be able to get more detail then what I got.
Any hints and advise??
