Jupiter Nov 18th in very good seeing.

That is amazing quality. If I got an image like that of Jupiter I'd be stoked.

Greg.

Thanks very much Eric, sorry for not replying earlier, I missed your post, must have posted while I was in the process of responding to the previous list of posts. You must drop in if you come up this way, it would be great to catch up again.

The 'Red Spot' looks like it is getting slightly smaller,also it appears more 'red' in these image,over the last few years,many have called it the 'great oatmeal spot'

Congratulations on this captureChris

Thanks very much Chris.

Thanks very much Mike, very generous comments, reckon its a bit of a statement on the current state of the weather that I had the time to do a repro. Bird suggested resampling by 3x which makes for huge files and many hrs of processing but am giving it a go.

Thanks very much Greg, yep, pretty pleased with this data.

Thanks very much Bird, have attached the same image again but with the data resampled 3x in ninox as you suggested, processed at 3x and then resized by 50% to get back to 150% of the original. This is first time I have attempted a 3x resample and the first time that I have managed successfully to use multi point alignment in Regi.

Thanks Trev, I reckon you've gotta be happy with that result...

cheers, Bird

Now, now Trevor, you better stop that, otherwise space craft will become obsolete. A wonderful image, thanks for the view, and all the best.

[BLiTZWiNG (Trent)]

Awesome images Trevor!

Now, I know I don't know much about telescopes, but I was under the impression that ~10/12"+ wasn't really much good inside Earths atmosphere, obviously this is not true, can you (or anyone else) tell me why at all?

Before I launch into my reply please be aware that I have nothing against smaller scopes and that my reply is from the perspective of planetary imaging. There are many extremely talented deep sky imagers that use small scopes to great effect producing mouth watering images of many deep sky objects. Often these images are the result of many tens of hours of exposure time. Planetary imaging however, is a different game.

Thanks BIiTZ, there is simply no substitute for aperture, in poor seeing a smaller scope may seem to provide a smaller scale image that is steadier than a larger scope and with more contrast.

In good seeing aperture is king. With smaller scopes the increased contrast that some talk about is simply the result of looking at a bright object through an instrument that has very little light gathering power which means that the sky will be darker. A 10 or 12" scope makes a fine observing instrument and you should not be put off by any claims that they are some how so effected by our atmosphere that they would be less desirable. Go to any star party and the longest line up of people will be at one of the largest scopes on the field.

This is really cool, I am going have to learn how to use Ninox, if it can do this I would do wonders for my images.

I am starting to experience some issues with apeture rules. My webcam can handle the vast amount of light coming in. I am in the process making apeture masks. They will be central mask not offset as it mis-aligns the CCD sensor.

Still waiting to buy a Powermate, having financial issues ATM. Need to hold off spending too much (Compulsive buying from adictive AP).

Thanks Trevor!

Now I will definitely keep dreaming of a larger scope (though I need to make a mobile platform for the one I have first, otherwise it's just an office decoration).
