Jupiter 6 may - LPI

This is my second shot of jupiter and only about the 5th time I've used the LPI, bought it for mars, didn't even get to see it, at least the skys have been a little clearer for jupiter.

I used envisage for this.

I tried using it in colour mode, wasn't happy, decided to give fillters a try, better detail, only thing was, I'ma bit slow, so each colour channel showed the planet moving around, not to mention the moons where in different positions, tried the filters again only for 90 seconds each, came out a little better.

stacked each channel in photoshop and came out with a fairly good shot, at least for a beginner.

Hi vash. Nice LPI shot. It's a different challenge to the Toucam. One thing to consider though. In 90 sec Jupiter will rotate about 0.8 of a degree, which depending on your focal length may start to smear your image so try to keep your imaging to this time

Not bad Vash, as Paul mentions 90 sec is about the limit of imaging if you want peak sharpness. If you took separate 90sec images and recombined then this would smear your detail quite a bit.

Are you using the Meade software? I found I got better results when I used K3CCD tools so I could capture standard avis with the LPI and then process in Registax 3.

cheers,

yeah, still using envisage. I installed the trial of k3ccd tools, but it was late and had to pack up, need sleep sometime, next night it's clear and I'm not working I'll run it instead
