best of bad bunch JUPITER 27th June

[Robert_T]

Hi All, finally chugged my way through the most recent batch of avis, this is the best of them, but to be frank they were all pretty poor. Maybe a mono camera and just shooting B&W images (maybe near infra-red) is the way to beat the bad-seeing blues

cheers,

Hi Robert,

Good idea. I guess that even taking shots through red filter with colour cameras would filter out the atmospheric disturbances.

You've got the colours spot on every time Robert, good job.

I had absolutely shocking seeing here last night. Chugging 2 avi's through registax now but i doubt they'll be worth psoting.

The only way to beat it (well to beat it is not possible) but I've found by dropping back the image scale helps. I would never shoot at your image scale (F40) in 3/10 seeing for instance.

Yeah the final image will be smaller, but crisper. Depends what you like & want I guess.

what I want is a huge big blurred disk that spills outside the side of the 640x480 frame that with some Astra Image miracle becomes a fantastic detailed image regardless of atmospheric conditions

this aside, I reckon narrow band imaging must be of some use. I certainly notice when I've observed visually with say a green filter that it noticably stabilised a seeing distorted image of joop... I just need a hideously expensive mono camera to give it a try
