Jupiter August 3rd Finally some decent seeing

[Quark (Trevor)]

Hi All,

Well, it had to happen, at last some decent seeing, not the best that I have had but a substantial improvement on what has been dished up over the last month.

Have attached two of the highest res and deepest R channel images I have ever taken of Jupiter.

I suppose when the data is good enough to stack more than half the frames from a 3,600 frame avi then the seeing has definitely co-operated.

I have also posted a 150% crop of the Birds Eye from an RGB.
I have several RGB's but have run into a technical problem with them and will seek some advice before I finish processing them.

Have also attached an animation of R channel images.

Thanks for looking

Trevor,

that is truly outstanding work.
The animation is incredible.
Kudos to your dedication mate.

Good stuff, Trevor

It's great you got some good seeing after a long stretch of rubbish.

Makes all the difference.

Trevor,
Great images, I prefer the first of them and the animation is awesome.

Great work Trevor, nice detail there.

Lovely colour too.

Hi Trevor

Another series of beautiful, detailed images. The animation is terrific and a couple of frames in the sequence really “pop”, clearly demonstrating the vagaries of seeing and how it affects hi-res imaging.

Cheers

Thanks Steve, have not had much sleep of late. It is just so exciting watching the structure of the impact region evolve night by night. I have such a backlog of data. I have been trying to work through it but I it seems that it usually time to start on the next nights captures before I have finished with the previous nights data.

So true Matt and it looks like the seeing may be good for the next few days.

Thanks Frank, I to love the animation, I know the animation is only for a few seconds however there is 8 images in it. It represents 14000 of a possible 28000 frames.

Thanks Anthony, I have just had a look at your effort from the same night and what a outstanding image you have created, certainly sets the bar very high.

Thanks Mike, my RGB's were the best I have taken of Jupiter and when I sort out my processing problems I will post them.

Thanks Dennis, yes, when you image at this sort of resolution it does really provide a whole new perspective on the quality of the seeing.

Good on ya Trevor, nice images.

Are you adding any gamma at capture time; I am just wondering what is causing the ring in your images? I have found that any gamma can cause this.

Thanks Lester, that ring is why I have not yet posted my RGB's, they look great but I cannot seem to get rid of that ring. I have put in 2 days now trying various different processing techniques but it is still there.

I have not experienced this problem previously, mind you, I have not imaged at this image scale before either. I spoke to Anthony last night about it and have sent him an avi see what he can make of it.
