Hey Portmac

Nice bunch of images - well done!

A couple of thoughts sprung to mind as I read your post, as follows:

1. Generally, limit your exposures of Jupiter to 90 seconds, to avoid "smearing" caused by the movement of features on Joop's disc, as he rotates once just under every 10 hours.

2. I did read somewhere that the optimum number of stacks for the LPI is around 50. Any less, and you may not get the best signal to noise ratio; any more and the improvement is not significant, with the risk of degrading the image.

Cheers

Dennis
