Last night the clouds parted at about 9:30pm and I was not going to give up this opportunity to attempt imaging Jupiter once again.
After getting a lot of advise from a few guys on here (greatly appreciate it, definitely great help, thanks) and by trial and error, I finally got some detail on Jupiter... I was ecstatic when these were last nights results and I had to share.
Darrin, I used the DMK21 618 with a 2.5X Powermate, 60 second per each of the RGB filters, Red and green were 30fps 1/30th and blue was 15fps 1/15th. Gain was about mid way across the slider and I refocused at every channel.
Registax'd and then combined and colour balanced in photoshop.
Very happy with the outcome... Perhaps what helped is the fact that the moon was just past full??? I know that doesn't make sense, more likley it was refocusing at every filter change.
I'm a little jealous, tbh, because I took my scope out to my sister's place at Picton and was probably looking at Jupiter at the same time as you. However, I was unable to get the video camera attached because my sister's kids were hogging uncle David's "awesome" telescope. They hadn't seen it before, but seeing them excited about looking at the night sky was great compensation for not being able to do any imaging
, wish i could get that much detail on my shots.
