Hi, i am new to this bit of the forum, or maybe it has been a while since i have posted..........i hate clouds
Seeing was between 6 to 7/10.
This was the first avi off the rank. 10fps, optimized colour, 90s and my new baader ir/uv filter. F38.5, 1600x or 9625mm
Registax with 360 frames stacked, rgb split in astra image, but this time 5x1.1 ME Exponential deconvolution as a first. It performed better than ME gaussian deconvolution. Into photoshop, an auto colour, brightness reduction, increase in saturation and thats it.
First image is the registax output and second the further processed.
I have some raw colour mode ones to process as well
Those colours look very natural. Not overprocessed at all. Nice work.
Did you take the stacked (TIFF?) straight to AstraImage without any wavelets applied?
Excellent stuff.
By the way... I finally got around to having a look at the Jupiter avi you sent me, with good seeing (9/10). You're right - I've never had good seeing. Based on your avi I would put the best seeing I've ever had here in Canberra somewhere around 4/10
Nice shot, yet again. Yes, it has been a while. I was out that same night with the little ETX and was impressed to be seeing clearly the GRS. What time was that? Is the GRS coming or going?

But it was great to see what it looks like
no, this one was a quick run through, so heavy wavelets then to tiff and into astra image.
i have split into separate r,g,b avis for separate processing and then trying no wavelets then heavy deconvolution and then the wavelets.
The nicest thing is the exponential ME deconvolution, seems to work nicely, further investigation needed.
Re the great seeing, I got an email from Damian Peach after there had a been huge discussion on the UK astro site whether Damien keeps "secret" his processing. Basically it comes back to having great seeing and then because the data is so great, very little processing is needed. So hang in there Matt, you have a great scope, great little camera, you are collimating, cooling....so it is now up to having a great 7 or 8/10 or even better night.

Hi David,
I was quite interested to read this long discussion. I see from my replies also this has generated a long discussion!. I think the problem is too many have never seen truely great seeing, and cant imagine that thier telescopes could produce something great. Who would have ever thought a C9.25 could produce what it has?. It just illustrates just how much the seeing affects what the telescope can do. Many also fail to realise that the processing is not the most important step when you have such seeing and can get really good data. Its much easier to believe there are magical processing routines to produce high quality work!.
Best Wishes

Congrats,

brian,
21:40, i got some data from 2225 to process as well, near transit
