Jupiter March 28 from Murrumbateman

mm, I'll see what I can do. The raw frames are very noisy, so not sure how much you will see from just one of them... Maybe I'll do a quick stack of just the best 50 frames or something and no processing? When the current processing run ends I'll have a play.

noisy is fine.....it is alwassy interesting to see raws for beginners to look at and to see how bright / gamma you have them etc

Bird,

Your previous images were great but then this!

These Jupiter images are the finest I ever seen from an amateur. Very smooth, your processing is right on, both color and virtually noise free. I find it difficult to find words to describe my impression of the images here - just outstanding!

These should be published in S&T as a minimum.

Ok, here's the best raw frames according to ninox. You've been warned, they're quite noisy :-)

cheers, Bird

Ordinary.

Just kidding.

Superlative work.

Congrats

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

Thanks Matt.

Davo, btw I leave the gamma and brightness at 1.0 (ie the default value) when I capture. Only the gain is cranked up, to maximum.

These frames had exposure times of 25ms.

Thanks for all the information Anthony and to see the Raw images.

Like D.P. said "these final images are the best I have seen"

[davidpretorius]

thanks bird, it is good for me to have a reference point for rgb raw images in terms of brightness etc

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

It's taken a while to get more images processed, I ran out of disk space and had to buy a new drive (amongst other things).

Anyhow, here's another image from a few minutes later..

cheers, Bird

Bird, these images are awesome. Non-astronomers wouldn't even believe they were taken from Earth, let alone by an amateur.

BTW, your rig is equally impressive. As a simplistic kind of guy, I don't fancy sorting out all those cables every night!

Unbelievable breathtaking images Anthony

The second one is great too, so many fine spots visible. Incredible stuff.
