First jupiter...

[toc (Tim)]

Took this last night with the Meade 12inch SCT, and a crummy webcam. Im pretty sure the crud at the top of the planet is some dust blobs on the sensor or imaging train. I was so happy to have the damn thing in the eyepiece I just captured away

Adding another one that was processed slightly differently.

Tim, the second processing is much better than the first. You are obviously onto something there, keep it up.

I think the artifacts you have could be due to image compression -- try experimenting with different codecs on your webcam. Maybe try lower frame rate and or smaller image size.

Nice work for a first Jupiter.

Very nice start Tim
I think the marks you are referring to are real detail as I think they appear in my image as well (opposite the GRS)
By the way, do you have any details of thr "crummy webcam" or the capture settings

Not to bad Tim, well done

second process is nice Tim. Agree with Rob, the crud at the top is part of the planet. Be careful, this type of imaging is addictive. Regards Ray

From memory - I used 1/33 of a second, 20 frames per second. Little bit of gain.
