Arrow Jupiter - final from the 9th

Hi.

Here's my final version(s) of the data captured on the 9th February 2006.

Spent a little more time processing this avi, which I considered the best out of the 11. I did a separate run aligned on Io and recombined the two images, as Io moves faster than Jupiter rotates.

I also reprocessed using a Mitchell 1.3x upsize value meal to see how big it could go and still hold up the detail. It still looks quite good at this size.

These shots were @ 10fps, and the usual processing routine was employed:
Virtual Dub (save as bmp's) -> ppmcentre (centre object, crop and estimate) -> split into RGB (netpbm tools) -> Registax (align and stack each colour) -> AstraImage (process each colour and then recombine) -> photoshop (final curves and contrast)

Quite happy with the final image, however I still think it's a *tad* soft due to seeing, focus or collimation. I'll blame one or all of those 3

Comments welcome.
