i think the onionrings are from over waveletting lester

Hi Ving,

Yes over waveletting will bring them out more. Bad seeing conditions will also bring them to life. But gain at 75% will help to reduce them (well that is what I used with the Neximage) I have not used a LPI. But I would say that higher the gain setting, the less onions you will get. I have experienced the same with the DFK, so my conclusion is that this is similar for all AVI imaging devices.

help!!! where are my gain settings???

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

I couldn't find any ving and ended up using the contrast and brightness in combination to try to bring the histogram at the side up to around 500 - 520

[ving (David)]

what vers of k3 are you using paul?

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

V3. I'll crank up the laptop and try V1

[ving (David)]

yeah i have v3 too... lpi doesnt really work on v1

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

????? Mine just did. That's is what I used to do these screen dumps.

Any way. I set the LPI up in my 76mm copyscope and took a couple of shots of a shrub up in the corner of the back yard.

I found that using V1 I could adjust the exposure settings that I couldnt touch in V3

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Ok I just checked it wasn't version 1 I was using. I have the desktop icon incorrectly named

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

This one is from V1 though and all settings are set on auto. Probably won't work with Jupiter but they will give you something to start with.

Edit: BTW it didn't matter whether I was imaging Jupiter or the backyard, K3 dropped frames. Using 5 fps, 10 fps, 15 fps for 60 sec always ended up at 176 frames.

lol, i was wondering how you managed to control exposure thru v1
ya silly!
