That’s a fine image of Jupiter with great colour and detail
Well done !!
I use the same camera 600D and 6” f6 and 8” f5 newts
Due to my focal ratio I use a 4x Powermate and 5 x Powermate to achieve a suitable focal ratio of f21 for average seeing and f30 for nights of good seeing
I control my camera via BYEOS which IMO is the best DSLR capture software period
I’ve followed Jerry Lodriguss for a number of years , one of the best DSLR imagers in the last 25 years and have read most of his books
To achieve a 1:1 pixel resolution on the 600D make sure you capture in 5 x zoom setting , this will produce the best resolution
Like you, I use Autostakkert 3 to stack my AVi video frames which does a superb job and then I use Registax 6 to sharpen , de noise and adjust colour etc .., again a superb software program
Here’s an image of Saturn and Jupiter from last year using the above set up on the 6” f6 newt
I’m glad someone else imagers planets with an old DSLR , they do a great job
Keep posting
Cheers
Martin
