Interesting contrast - here's the same basic image as before, but this time all the sharpening has been done in the L (luminance) layer after decomposing the image into LAB and then recombining.
This is sort-of cheating because the colour information is not sharpened but it looks pretty good. This is a popular technique but not one that I've had much success with.
Another stunning sequence Anthony - top stuff yet again. Thanks for sharing these gems, I know a lot of hard work, effort and time under the skies and in the computer room goes into producing them.
A great view of the progression of the white storm imaged above on March 8, it's evolved into a pair of intense white storms with material streaming away from each in opposite directions. This dramatically shows the jetstreams at work in the jovian belts.
A frustrating morning - the seeing looked very good but a lot of haze and high cloud dropped the transparency by about 50%. Here are two images showing the contrast between a low altitude Jupiter and a not-quite-so-low altitude. The last image would have been taken with J at approx 50 degrees.
The shadow of Ganymede can be see in the second image, whit the "new" LRS is visible as an intense orange storm close to oval BA in the first image, with the GRS just sliding out of view.
Beautiful images, Anthony. I'm going through mine from this morning now.. looks like I missed the best of the seeing.. my first run (around 5:30am) is looking like the best
That'll teach me for capturing too many deep-space images.. I had exposures still running until after 5am!
Here's the best result from this morning, nothing special this time as the seeing was quite poor by recent standards.
I found (by accident) that thsi image aligns closely with an image from 2 days ago and shows cloud movement with respect to the GRS. ie the GRS is stationary in both images and we can see how the rest of the weather systems move.
Oval BA and the small red spot adjacent are slowly but surely being pulled into the GRS. Also if you look at teh GRS in this animation you can see a small dark spot being pulled in and munched :-)
will do it tomorrow.
It's going to be terrific to see what you produce as the planet climbs higher.
