Jupiter 11/01/05

Hi guys.

Finally got around to processing my Jupiter images from yesterday morning, tried a lot of different methods during processing..

Choosing different alignment frames, stacking difference amount of frames, did some 1.5x resampling at times, different wavelet and saturation processing, etc.

Here's a composite i've come up with, again in need of your opinion as to which one is best..

The bigger ones are resampled in registax using Mitchell @ 1.5x.

All shots are with my 10" dob (no tracking), working at f/10 (FL 2500mm with 2x barlow). The avi is a 500-frame combination of 5 separate short avi's. The images are results from stacks of anywhere from 150 to 330 frames. Jupiter was about 35 degrees altitude when these were shot, about 3:15am 11/01/2005 AEDST.

Appreciate your comments, advice, suggestions and recommendations

yeh I know, i'll be checking before I go out next to make sure the GRS is visible when I want to image!

At least this one is better than my first jupiter image!

Good onya Ice. They're great! I'd be really chuffed if they were mine. (soon soon, once it clears the trees

)

Would you like to send the avi's just stacked to my email address, I think there maybe more there than is visible at present.

Nice work Mike, and it would be good to see what Paul can extract.
Gotta make the effort to get some Jupiter time
