Jupiter 11/4/19

[Saturnine (Jeff)]

Had some reasonable seeing conditions this morning for a change and managed to get some half decent images for my location and gear.
Equipment - 127 f7.5 Triplet, HEQ5, 2.5 Powermate, ZWO 290mc. Best 500 of 3000 @ 800 X 600 res. Gain 200 , 12 ms shutter speed , Registax for align and sharpening.

Not bad. Color is a bit yellow. I tried correcting the color.

That to me now looks a bit purple and yes, mine a a bit too yellow / green. probably need to cut the saturation a bit. Thanks for your interest Adrian

Yeah image processing a JPEG isn't ideal at all unfortunately.

Played with the colour balance, hopefully more natural now.

Still too yellow, is your monitor calibrated?


the corrected one looked perfectly normal, maybe a fraction magenta

yeah adrians is closet colourwise. you need both a colour calibrated monitor plus convert to srgb colour profile when posting online for any chance others will see what you see. yours are vastly over yellow out of whack. get yourself a colormonkey or spyder and dont use gaming monitors thinking they are awesome, plus never ever ever ever touch colour controls on your monitor to make things look good. monitor should always remain neutral and use colour calibration hardware and follow the instructions and never touch monitor controls ever unless hardware calibration tells you otherwise. sorry jeff, its ruining an otherwise nice shot of jupiter.

Thanks for the feedback / critique guys . Maybe some software that I loaded a few days ago that changed the colour settings to Win 7 Basic have affected the balance.
Will try to do better next time.

It's a very nice image with the colour corrected. The yellow overcast seems to reduce the contrast.

Had another go at correcting the colour balance, maybe a bit better.
