Quick Jup 14th teaser (8/10 seeing)

[iceman (Mike)]

The seeing actually was quite good last night again, maybe peaking at 8/10 or so. Lucky to have a couple of good sessions in a row.

Here's a quick teaser while I go through and find the best of the avi's to process fully.

Quick stack in registax, split, LR deconv (2/1.1) and recombine in AstraImage.

Overprocessed (over contrasty) from my normal routine, but I usually do it like this first time around just to judge the quality of each avi so I know which ones to spend the most time on later.

5fps for 120 seconds.

Nice Mike, bet you are looking forward to the new camera and a few nights like this.

[iceman (Mike)]

You betcha, Gary.

Though I'm already beginning to worry how much time dampening will take when i manually turn the filter wheel, and hoping it doesn't bump my tracking off and end up with Jupiter off the FOV, in which case I need to spend more time getting it back in view.

In a 2 minute capture window, I'd hope that I can get away with losing no more than 10 seconds for each filter rotation - that still gives me a useable 30 seconds for each colour channel, and at 30fps, 900 frames of each channel - more than enough to stack.

Good on ya Mike,

Mike,

Fantastic detail coming through their - your normal processing should bring this out wonderfully. Seems a few of us got better conditions last night than the Jetstream would have led us to expect

Cheers,

[iceman (Mike)]

Thanks guys.

Here's the fully processed version of the avi above.
