Thanks Kostas 🙂

I've been going through my data for the night of the 6th, and as I thought, from my location the conditions were slightly better just before the transit. Here is the result of 4 RGB runs with de-rotation. I have deliberately not pushed the processing too far, in order to keep things as natural as possible. Hope you like it Best Wishes Harvey

Thanks Guys for all of your positive comments. Much appreciated 🙂

Hi Guys Here's an RGB image of the above shot at around 11.30BST on the 6th. Seeing was fair with the usual milky transparency, making processing challenging. There are 3 RGB runs here combined in Winjupos. The GRS is just on the Eastern limb of the planet Best Wishes Harvey

Fantastic job on those Geof! You've really nailed focus too. That C14 is clearly performing well for you. Do you have any cooling issues with it? Cheers Harvey

That's lovely! Looks really natural to me. Perfect processing! 😀

Hi Guys Thanks so much for all of your comments and encouragement Best Wishes Harvey

Love that animation Stuart! Very Cool 🙂

Thanks Geof

Thank you Kon

Appreciate your comments Neil. I have 2 laptops, on 1 of them the saturation looks minimal, and on the other, it looks a little overcooked. It was a tough call, as I thought I had calibrated them both. I am also finding that the colours are looking different depending on which program I am looking at them in. Cheers Harvey

excellent work Geof!

Of course Geof! I wasn't being critical, I really admire your patience and enthusiasm, and as you say, you never really know if it's gonna get better or not. I look forward to hopefully seeing the Gifs. Best Harvey

Hi Guys Well, it's a repro of sorts, but with increased data. I did mention to Stuart, - (Space Cowboy), that I had more available data to add to my previous efforts. So here is the result, with double the original data. There are now 10 individual images, that were combined in Winjupos, instead of the initial 5. The image has become less noisy due to this, with detail I think that is easier on the eye. Personally, I think I prefer this colour pallette. would be interesting to have your thoughts? Thanks for looking Clear Skies! Harvey

Well done Geof! I admire your patience! I've never bothered attempting to image under those sort of skies before personally😉

Thank you 🙂

Thank you 🙂

Thanks Stuart. That's interesting. I think I did some minor denoising after posting on CN. That's probably why the text is distorted, - I was just too lazy to write it up again, - LOL. This particular image was just 5 no 40 second captures combined in Winjupos. So, I think the artifact you are mentioning is slight edge distortion due to stretching. I did try to remove it using the deringing function in Registax, but couldn't. I do have another 5 captures that I could still combine in Winjupos, but am still working and have been time short. I will get round to doing it soon though. Best wishes Harvey

Many thanks Geof 🙂

Thanks Reggie 😊

Thank you

Cheers Kon

Thank you

It's pretty quick actually, I generally put a fan on at the bottom of the OTA. What makes a huge difference is that I have the whole tube wrapped in silver foil. Thanks for your comment Regards Harvey

Hi Guys Not posted much on here lately due to losing my account credentials. I thought I'd share with you an image of Jupiter taken with the 11" Mak under steady seeing/transparency on the night of the 15/16th October. much has been said on here about correct sampling, - my ideal f ratio for sampling is around F15. The live view was that good that I decided to put on a 2.5X TV power-mate which would give me around F22. I personally have found that I get my best images in good seeing when oversampled. I had originally set up for mono imaging, but had the settings wrong on the new camera, so couldn't obtain a frame rate of more than 1.5 fps. I transferred over to the ASI 462 coloured cam at the last minute, so pleased that the session wasn't a disaster! Regards Harvey
