Jupiter Monday Morning

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #1 30-01-2006, 03:28 PM

Set the alarm for 3am this morning hoping for clear skies and I got them. These are the best out of 25 avi's I took.
It seems that using barlowed 20mm and 12.5mm ep's are the way to go for me. The amount of frames used range from 382 up to 998.
The only adjustments were wavelets, gamma and a little contrast.

jjjnettie, what beautiful shots, the detail is excellent

, can even see detail within the GRS - is this using your standard eyepiece projection approach? Only thing lacking is the colour?cheers,

Very nice jjjnettie

That's some great detail you're getting for the method of imaging you're using. Well done!

Thanks for the kind comments.
Yes, still afocal.

Any advise about getting a bit of colour in my pictures would be gratefully received.
I tried Steve Massey's tutorial in "The Night Sky", but to no avail.
As a last resort I'll use coloured filters, but Jup spins so fast, I may not have time to get 3 decent avi's before he moves along.

i am very impressed with the amount of detail..

well done.

the 382 frame video, what can you compress down to. if you email to me, i can them place on my website for people to download?

again, this brilliant stuff for no tracking!!

Wow Jeanette

These are excellent - nice structure in the belts. Must be very rewarding - especially the early rise!

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #9 30-01-2006, 05:16 PM

As in shake rattle and hold.

Striker (Tony) · #10 30-01-2006, 05:20 PM

What a great effort Afocal.....you must have 1 steady handy.

Well done Jeanette.

Registax is very forgiving. It weeds out the worst. I ask for 95% quality, and it certainly gave it to me this time.
One very proud camper.

very nice work jjjnettie. I have looked at Jupiter quiet a few times last winter but never imaged it. Now you got me thinking its not to early in the morning to go out..

Oh i never though of the quality seting, hmm maybe i will play with it a bit.. thanks for that tip.

Regards
Netwolf.

Great job!

And hand held!

Beautiful detail, and I see the GRS there too

Keep up the good work, we wanna see more!

Very impressive result for the hand-held afocal effort!

Chris,
On the 25th of Feb. I'm having an open observing night on my property. Hoping to get a few people from IIS, but a couple of locals will be along as well.
Bring your camera and we'll play

dueling Panasonics.
