Reprocessed July 25

[matt]

As the title suggests, I went back and had another go at the Jupiters of July 25.

This time I stacked a larger number of frames to see if I could get rid of some of the grain.

I think it worked. I also went a bit lighter on the wavelets, so as not to "burn out" some of the detail.

There's even some discernible detail on Ganymede. That's a first for me (Yay!!!!)...

Again... this is just a quick run thru Regi.

May have to do a full process?

well done on gany
great detail there!

You're getting terrific detail, Matt. Great work! Have you done a separate alignment on Ganymede or are you aligning only on the centre of the planet?

[matt]

Funny you should mention that.

I was just talking to someone about doing a separate process on Ganymede.

Yep. So far only processed on centre of Jupiter.

Any advice? Do I simply re-open the avi and do a whole process job on Ganymede? I've never done a process only on a moon.

Cheers

Nice work Matt, your best yet. I'd definitely go the full process on that one, I reckon it'll come out very nice.

To process separately on a moon, sometimes I open the avi in registax and use a 32px alignment window on a sharp moon frame, and process as normal. It will even (usually) benefit from a split/LR/recombine in AstraImage, as long as it doesn't overexpose and burn out the detail in the process. Trial and error.

There's a section in my tutorial about separate moon processing, and how to recombine them back together once done.

Just went back to your tutorial and found the moon processing section, Mike.

Will give it a go.

Thanks guys.
