Jupiter 14th Dec 2014

Well here is a quick image run I did the other night.

This is the first time I've used the QHY5L II camera after it was repaired ( Big thanks to Bernard from Modern Astronomy).

In truth I hadn't a clue what I was doing - been such a long time since I did imaging. Sorry didn't make a note of setting.

QHY5L II colour camera, Europa 8" on Heq5 mount. 

Sharpcap + RS6 + Gimp.

I'm not happy with final image but it's just so good to be back out there again - even if it went down to -6°C

Lovely shot. Good detail, lovely colour, not over-processed.

Opps - title says 12th December, but this was done early on 14th December.

Very nice Lee. One of the best I have seen this apparition. Well worth the late night ...  ... early morning! You know what I mean.

Looking very good to me Lee, beats everything I got on the 14th! Though it was a great night to get out and frosty :-)

[Barv]

Yes, a lovely image. Well done! 

[Pete Presland]

excellent effort, some good detail showing.

Many thanks for all the comments.

The reason I wasn't so happy with the image was because I was "out of the saddle" for too long and I felt I was starting a fresh again.

I had poor results using FireCaptue so resulted in this run using SharpCap which gave much better results ???
