Jupiter + GRS, from the 21/01/2006

Hi guys.

Here's a few images of Jupiter I took on Saturday morning.

The seeing was quite good, although there was a lot of moisture in the air and dew on everything!

I got about 8 avi's, roughly 5 minutes apart. I was going to make an animated gif showing some rotation, and I may still do so - but I haven't got time right now, and some of the avi's turned out better than others.

Here's 2 of the best avi's from the night, as well as the R/G/B channels from one of them.

Capture parameters:
- 1/25s exposure
- 5fps
- Gamma 0% (left) 40% (right)
- Gain approx 40%

I made sure the white meter in K3ccdtools was over 180.

Processing was limited to my usual routine this time around (Registax, AstraImage, NeatImage), as I didn't have time to play with the individual R/G/B frames - although I did get Bird's shell script working (in Windows) so that it creates the sets of R/G/B frames. When I get more time i'll see if I can get a better result processing the individual colour planes separately.

Quite happy with this result, better than my previous Jupiter on the 11th Jan. The increasing altitude certainly helps.

Comments welcome.
