Got some great seeing with Jupiter this weekend.
Hi, this is my first post on the forum and there is a good reason for it, on Sunday night my balcony observatory got half an hour of great seeing.
I observed visually, and it was probably the best Jupiter that I have ever seen. The eye could easily distinguish the disks of the satellites and almost all the details and swirls that are in the photo. It was really amazing. While I was installing the camera, focusing etc, turbulence was increasing rapidly so Blue channel was taken in best seing, Green is average and Red was below average.
This was taken from my balcony in Brisbane. I recently moved to Australia from overseas and this month I put together my new astrophoto setup here. OTA is from Russia - TAL250K (Klevtsov's System, 250mm, F/8.5 or 6.0 with flattener/reducer)
Mount EQ6-R PRO, camera ASI290MM Mono, 2x Svbony Barlow Lens effectively as 2.5x. Noname 1.2" LRGB filters set and manual noname wheel.
Three videos was captured about 200 seconds (~10K frames) each, best frames margin was set about 35%.
Software Toolchain:
FireCapture -> Stakkert -> WinJupos -> Registax(Wavelets) -> Photoshop
