Hi people. Here are a couple of snaps of Jupiter from last night. The first using no filters. The second with a blue (82A) filter

Scope: 8" Dob, 2X Barlow
Camera: Toucam
Processing: Stacked the best out of ~150 images using Registax. Wavelets adjusted






I thought i would add some more details

Captured about 200 frames (no tracking)

hi swannies, nice shot there showing plenty of detail

welcome to the forum

hi swannies.

Good pix.

Personally, I'd ditch the blue filter for imaging. That's just my preference.

I think your unfiltered shot is far better for colour and detail.

What were your setting/capture details ie gain, gamma, fps, exposure time etc?

We like all those details

Welcome Swannies does your nick indicate that you are a sydney supporter in crowsville? wats going on? - suddenly SA has a huge representation here
I always new we were the astronomy capital of Oz - should be on numberplates 'SA the astronomy state' - its out of this world?
Nice images too

Yep am certainly a swans supporter. Was lucky enough to go to the GF last year . I get a lot of people from Adelaide having a go at me as I apparently should follow an SA team. Adelaide is my 2nd fav team though.

Thanks for the comments

Hey swannies, welcome to ISS and thanks for posting a nice Jupiter shot to get started. Plenty of detail. I'm assuming this is with no tracking? If it is all the more amazing.

Well done

least your not a PA or eddiewood supporter thats all that matters

You assumed correctly. No tracking was done for this picture. I amazed myself with the amount of detail I got with only about 100-150 good quality frames to work with. Furthemore, I was using about 400X magnification for it as well
