Jupiters 18/4/15

[JB80]

Last night was a bit of an odd one, it was clearish early on so I grabbed a couple of avis but some light cloud was drifting around so I figured to try again a bit later hoping the seeing would be a bit better too but half way through my second run this huge wind storm came from nowhere and sent me running. I guess things could of been better but I'm happy with my lot.

Fisrt are the same shot with the 6" newt and x2 barlow just processed slightly different, I'd ultimately like somewhere in between the two. The first one is with predominately Cauchy LR decon and the second with mainly Gaussian.

The RGBs individually.

This was without the barlow but with 1.5 Drizzle. x3 was too much to handle.

This was my later run and I only got two sets in before all hell broke loose, again no barlow 1.5 drizzle

Possibly these are my best Jupiters so I'm quite happy and more so in knowing that I can do things a bit more organised and precise with my captures and hopefully improve.

They look better in Photoshop though.

Any tips are welcome and appreciated.

Nice images, well processed, very natural colour

Thanks Michael, apart from stacking and a final contrast boost and crop I did it all in astraimage for the first time.

Seems to work well.

Might be worth running through winjupos too as I can see the movement when toggling between RGBs.
