I'll have to get more capture time next time I image Jupiter. Any idea what the actual frame rate was?

Cheers,

thanks for the comments Eric. From memory my last set of images were at about 100fps or just under at 98fps. I think I use a higher gain than most and have gone to 90 to get fast fps but have taken it down to 24 but I then find that the fps drop to about 15fps. I tend not to do any processing on the image in Registx or PS as in find that sharpening therein really brings artifacts? Or heavy contrasts to the image. I just let Autostakkert do it's thing and I'm happy with that. I still have to balance the number of alignment points etc with the number of frames to stack. A lot to learn.

Thanks for the capture details too.

thanks for the kind comments Dennis as I'm still waiting for that one night of great seeing in Brisbane. When it comes about then I will be ecstatic.
