Jupiter - Some of my early attempts.

[RB (Andrew)]

G'day everyone,

Since this weather won't let up to get any new images done, I thought I'd share some of my very early attempts at Jupiter.
At the time I was just tinkering around with Regisatx, not really knowing what I was doing.
Not that I know more now.

Anyway here they are, all taken thru the LX200 12" with Toucam.

Cheers.

Nice images Andrew. The disc of the Gallilean moon is quite impressive.

Nice shots Andrew, good results by anyones standards...

[TidaLpHasE]

Great pics Andrew, i like the last one the best, very good effort.

[RB (Andrew)]

Thank you Phil, Dennis and Trevor for your encouraging words.

I can't wait for the weather to clear so I can have a shot at Mars.
So far Ive only imaged Jupiter.

And after Mars comes Saturn.
I've been taking notes of ICE's work on Mars. '
His work is fantastic.

Nice shots RB, wasn't there a recent Jupiter you posted when you first joined? That one was sensational!

I got up at 1am this morning to do Mars, but it was only clear for 5 minutes before the clouds rolled in. I should've been up at 12am No jetstream either, stars weren't twinkling, seeing would've been GOOD!

Maybe you should reprocess some of those early AVI's, apply what you know now and see if you get a better result!

Yeah Mike that was the last one of the season. It turned out to be the best one.

I caught a glimps last night and the seeing was good. But clouds rolled in.

I'll try. I don't think I kept the avi's but I'll check.

Cheers.

Very Nice Andrew, great effort there. I like the second one and the last one the best.

[Mick (Michael)]

Very nice RB, Regisatx and stacking images are a mystery to me.

[davidpretorius]

love the moon shadow!


well done!

[RB (Andrew)]

Thanks Dave and Mick,

Mick- Registax is a little intimedating at first. I read a great "how to" article in S&T (US) that explained alot. Then I just keep trying different setting.
It's an amazing app.

[rumples riot]

Andrew, with that 12" you should maybe consider some tweeking of the collimation. The images are good but look a little soft in collimation to me. Might also be the wavelets not being hard enough. Still practice does make perfect. And the damnable seeing is always an issue.

Here is one I reprocessed from earlier in the year. Just goes to show what can happen when everything comes together. If you want any tips on collimation or Registax3 settings please let me know. I am more than happy to help.

[RB (Andrew)]

Cheers Paul,

You're right about collimation. I was in such a hurry I didn't collimate.
Thanks for your help. When it comes time again I will call on you.

That is ONE AWESOME image mate.

[rumples riot]

Yeah I was lucky that night. Just remember to collimate, collimate and collimate. Your only a small step away. Next step after that is the very large one to Bird's Height.

[fringe_dweller]

Nice RB! I like the second on the best keep em coming dude!

[davidpretorius]

wet days = good times for reprocessing - i agree!

here is my reprocessing of my first go in august of jupiter.

It is amazing what tips from Rumples and Iceman can do for your registax techniques.

[asimov (John)]

And here's one I reprocessed 2 days ago. Nice shots RB Rumples Davo.
