Jupiter 2nd June

Just a quick one before work with the 8" Newtonian and Toucam 840, 2x Barlow +extension tube. Not much effort went into processing as I wanted to do this before work this morning, and tonight after a few wines I haven't turned out anything better

Seeing was OK which gave me lots of help

You have some good detail there. Do you have a fullsize image somewhere?

Here is the stack from Regi at full size.

So does that mean your original post was not compressed in any way for posting?

Michael,
Both images were converted from .BMP to .JPG to post but I always use the highest quality available on CS4 when doing this conversion. I am not really savvy re the compression that may occur in the .AVI and have not been able to pick the difference with different CODECs that I have tried.
Sorry if I haven't answered your question but that's about the extent of my knowledge in this area

Here is another process from the same morning

Ok, I see what's happening now. I am getting mixed up cos my moon shots fill the frame and result in ~1mb BMP file. Jupiter does not fill your frame so the resulting image is smaller.

I need to get myself a barlow, but even then I doubt the camera I current use is going to be sensitive enough to pickup much detail.

Michael, most of my full frame out of Registax bmp's are 901kb.
What camera are you using??

I'm using a LifecamHD. Works OK on the moon, but all I get for Jupiter and Saturn is a featureless disk.
