Jupiter Nov 09UT

[lepton3 (Ivan)]

I gave Jupiter another go this morning.

Seeing was still no good, with no detail available in the blue channel.

But I salvaged an image by taking a video with the mono camera through a #25R filter and using that as L for an LRGB image.

Good old WinJUPOS let me combine the frames from two cameras, handling the planet rotation and the field rotation.

Nice work Ivan.

Good stuff, Ivan!

Thanks Asimov, and thanks Laurie.

nice work Ivan. interesting approach to seeing problems - looks like #25 gives a pretty good representation of luminance for colour use, better than red from the RGB set?
What did we do before WinJUPOS? Regards Ray

Hi Ray,

I use the #25 as it is a deeper red than the LRGB R, and passes a fair bit of near IR as well. I've found it gives me sharper results in poor seeing, and is brighter than a true IR pass filter.

WinJUPOS, Registax, Autostakkert, all indispensable programs for this sort of imaging. I'd buy all their authors a beer if they visited Adelaide!

Thanks Graeme, I guess it's even worse elevation-wise from your part of the world!
