Jupiter & Callisto 17th August

Pretty steady seeing in Adelaide last night with only a slight jetstream. Seeing probably about 7.5 at its best. Callisto was just emerging from Jupiter's shadow. This is probably my best Jupiter image so far. Red channel included as well.

C11, SkyNyx 2.0, 2x barlow, 40secs each of RG&B

Hi Graeme

Wow – that is one of the best Jupiter images I have seen! Excellent work, the detail is quite extraordinary and the processing looks so smooth and natural.

Cheers

Dennis

That, is one superb image of Jupiter Graeme,

The seeing was very nice on Aug 17th and it is great to see that it extended down to Adelaide.

Your red channel also captured Callisto as a crescent as it came out of the shadow of Jupiter.

Very well done.
Regards
Trevor

Hi Graeme

That image is awesome. Really great colours and exceptional detail - it reminds me of a Cassini image I saw years ago. You must be very pleased with you efforts - post some more stuff!

Superb Graeme, wish I had been well enough that night to image too. That said these images are great. Certainly your best work to date and I am very glad you have achieved this. Congratulations.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I've spent several hours going through some more of the data. This image is from a few minutes earlier (Callisto was still in Jupiter's shadow) and I think I've achieved a bit more fine detail in the processing, albeit with a little more graininess.

And here are the 3 colour channels from that image. Certainly the sharpest Blue channel I've ever had.

That blue channel is awesome, Ric.

The reprocess is nice, maybe a tad grainy like you said but very nice indeed. You should probably adjust the background levels a bit to make it a bit cleaner.
