Hi Asi, another excellent shot, you're building up fast here with some great detail already . Jupiter is sure getting a workout... might give it another shake tonight but with the 7 inch. It needs a spell in the field.
I think I like these two versions the best. The first is how I like to see it in a photograph, & second: How I think its seen in my telescope at the eyepiece. (12.5" Parks Newt with a contrast booster on).
Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated. Now that I've found out a few secrets on how to image Jupiter, hopefully I'll get some better ones. (seeing permitting).
Hi Rob. On that image in question, I stayed away from astraimage & neatimage all together & did my usual thing in picture publisher (a list as long as your arm, but I can throw the proceedure on here if you really want to know?)
Oh, & I also restacked at 85% optimization in ver 2 registax rather than 90% giving me a few more frames so I could up the waveletts a bit more...I also took a page out of Dennis's book here & used 30-1 20-2 waveletts only, & then resized it smaller to make the grain less noticable.
Wow that last one is fantastic asi! Your best by a country mile!
It's funny how those 925's all seem to bring out a similar "looking" jupiter, in terms of colour, depth etc. All you guys that have one are producing similar great work.

Nice one!
Thanks Mike. I think it's my best too. On that one I simply hit it with #1 wavelett..bigtime....I gave it 80. All the rest were left at default value. I'm actually trying to get close to Dennis's look on jupiter. That crisp, finely focussed, almost steel-blue hard look. Huge image scale in the final image does not look good using this technique I've found. I've had to scale back a bit otherwise the course grain look overrides the detail. I could now go back through & reprocess AGAIN..!? ...........using this technique. This is so much fun!!!!!!!!
Rob, I just wish I'd made the jump a lot sooner! Like before I purchased a 6" refractor?? Buy hey, I don't regret my actions in any way. It's all one big learning curve isn't it..
