C8/900NC Jupiter reprocess images {2nd June}

asimov (John) · #1 10-06-2006, 11:02 AM

Hi.

Lousy weather = the reprocessing of old AVI's

Took the best 4 AVI's & restacked, re-this & re-that.

The first four on the left; straight out of registax, heavy waveletts. The four on the right; same images after ME deconvolution & a 2.0 unsharpmask in Astraimage.

Never bothered to alter their colours; 'As the camera captured them' according to my gain/gamma settings at the time.

Oh thankyou Asi,

I can feel the withdrawal symptoms going now.

Its fantastic to see Jupiter with a bit of colour and not this Hong Kong flu, anemic looking thing that has infiltrated our air waves.

Like the detail.

WOW you bought out heaps of detail in the image, well done, holly wow @ Red jr too, getting close now.

Great stuff John. So rich in colour and detail.

That 900's already giving very clear signs of what it's capable of.

I really like the ones on the right. Particularly the 2 along the bottom and the one at upper right.

Nice rich colours in the bands and nice "cool" tones in between.

Good work mate

Glad you like 'em guys.

Normally I'll sit & play for hours getting the colours to how I think should be presented. Have not bothered in this case, but will soon when I get bored enough.

like the bottom left straight up, but top ones really show the GRS beautifully.

what you bored......naaarrggh never

Wow!

It's impressive to see what a C8 an do in capable hands!

Thanks Asi!

Al.

Another one

This time a split & VC deconvolution: 7 Iterations & 0.6 curve radius (gaussian) Also edited the FFT on all 3 channels slightly.

Interestingly enough, it seems to have brightened the blue channel, so I just left it rather than try to unsaturate the blue in the image.

davidpretorius · #9 10-06-2006, 10:43 PM

bird has produced 1 great VC image and this is the other!

I really like it. I simply can not get anything out of VC!

asimov (John) · #10 10-06-2006, 10:50 PM

Thanks Dave.

I'll try a few more & see how they come up with VC I think. BTW it could be the fact I altered the FFT that it came out ok..

davidpretorius · #11 10-06-2006, 10:55 PM

did you play with FFT in astra image?

asimov (John) · #12 10-06-2006, 11:01 PM

Yup. While the image is split. You'll have to play with it a bit to comprehend what it does..

Lester · #13 10-06-2006, 11:03 PM

Wowy Asi,

Well done. I think we will start the bidding for my C8 at $2k.

By the way mate I got a few empty ginger beer bottles in the shed, just hook your 900nc up with barlow and extention tube and see what you get.

davidpretorius · #14 10-06-2006, 11:08 PM

here is a butterworth high pass on a medium wavelets (max of 45.5 on slider 6) from registax.

no change to the settings, no other processing

promising tool?

asimov (John) · #15 10-06-2006, 11:11 PM

Eh?...What C8??

lester, do not encourage him!!!

I could not handle the shame of him smashing my imaging abilities to pieces with a empty bottle!

yeh mate, what is in that large box that has rocked up to my joint??? the bimetal holesaws arrived thursday along with the fluoro green and pink spray cans??

Lester · #18 10-06-2006, 11:23 PM

Okay Dave.

Asi the miracle worker

asimov (John) · #19 10-06-2006, 11:30 PM

Yes Davo, looks promising, I've tried that before but I don't think I spent enough time experimenting with it.

Heres the FFT editing tool. Just put a black dot or line anywhere on the image....put it on different areas to get a different effect.

EDIT: OK...I won't upload the image then, bogpond or IIS server is chucking a wobbly...maybe later

asimov (John) · #20 10-06-2006, 11:36 PM

Nah...remember the old pick-axe brand long necks??....they have a slightly concave bottom, just like a corrector in a SCT!
