The thing is I just purchased an 8TB for this purpose and installed it into my windows rig, but shortly after i decided to do processing on my linux/win dual boot system instead.

Thanks Ross - yes I think I'll be coming back to this set every now and then, nice to have nabbed some good data.

thanks Marc - I might have to contact you for some Venus UV tips - not really getting detail - i thought it may have been my qhy163m coatings, so then tried the zwo224mc not much better.

Thanks Pete - I might have to get a print of that one, definitely one of my best.

Thanks Jeff - I don't actually touch the saturation at all - looks closer to what you see in the eyepiece - subtle colours, although more saturation can be nice to show some more contrast. Yes indeed, Neptune and Venus captured in poor conditions, but nice to see nonetheless. Haven't had much luck in UV for venus.

A perfect set of shots- Jupiter is just splendid. Very easy on the eye with smooth seamless details through all the bands.

Thanks Anthony - i appreciate the comment - i try not to go too hard on the in this processing i think i made a concerted effort to not go too crazy on the wavelet sharpening - i'm still learning though and improving with registax - it's definitely a dark art!


Just also did a derotation from the same night in winjupos - it definitely helps with the SNR and pulling some more detail out with wavelets. the derotation doesn't work that well with the moon transits however. although I think i should really be processing each channel individually - the green and red channel could probably go through some more processing when the blue channel needs to tap out earlier.

thanks for all the comments
