My best Jupiter yet?

[matt]

I think I've captured my best Jupiter so far with the 9.25.

Went for a drive tonight to IIS member Spearo's place just outside Braidwood.

The sky's were definitely darker and I suspect offer better seeing too.

This is just the first of a number of avi's I took on the night before we were clouded out.

This has had very little work other than Registax and a little levels and colours in PS.

Plenty to see, even without GRS etc

Yep! I'd agree when you say its your best yet Matt

Well done

Me thinks I'll have to play a little with this one in Astraimage that ok?

: Just a quick split & LR decon. Bit of unsharpmasking blah blah..

Very nice Matt! Must be close to if not your best. Are you finding the motor focus unit you got a big help?

Sorry Asi, on my screen here I prefer Matt's original, great colour!

Cheers,

[matt]

Thanks Rob.

The motor focuser has made a big difference.

I remember some comments back when we were discussing me getting one. Those comments were along the lines that it's an unnecessary luxury blah blah

I can only speak from recent experience and results that the opposite is the case. It's made a difference IMO

I also agree with you regarding Asi's reprocessing attempt. Perhaps too heavy on the gamma?

But thanks for having a crack anyway, John.

Matt,
well done! This is an Awsome shot of Jupiter!
I put you rpic from 19-07-06 side by side and what a difference!
I'm definitely going to have to try my luck at planetary imageing too having seen your handywork!
