Thanks Poita,
my focusing routine is usually to determine the inner and outer limits of focus and then reduce gamma to 50% and visually try to pick a spot on Jupiter to judge focus.When I think I have got it right I run a 30 second capture and then process it through reg6 to see how much detail I get. In this case I couldnt get much detail regardless of changing focus so either my seeing was too bad or my scopes collimation is off again. I do carry my scope in and out for each session since my old scope got waterlogged.I am also focusing manually and my crayford focuser struggles to handle the weight of my imaging train and sometimes moves during capture.I am looking at a moonlight focuser with a stepper motor on it.
The RGB images are combined in Winjupos and are cropped by this program. I will post some of the separate channel pics so you can see how big JUpiter is with a c11 and 2.5 powermate-I would say the image fills about 1/3 of the width of the frame.
