Excellent image this late in the season. Peter

Yes the RGB filters will not pass either IR or UV except for a small overlap at the red and blue end. I would recommend taking 4 filters, R G B and IR. Produce both images as usual, the RGB will be washed out both by dust and the low altitude The IR will show nice details (less affected by atmospheric turbulence and Mars dust). Then combine using the IR as a luminence channel. This can all be done in WINJupos. Best regards Peter

I use a C14 with an ASI224MC camera and IR filter. You don't need a big aperture though, it's a bright object. Venus easily visible in a 50mm finderscope in daylight. A Goto mount helps you find it in daylight. For safety, do it from a shaded spot so can't see the sun. Peter

Getting close to 50% phase now. Taken at 4:40pm on 5th Aug, poor seeing. Peter

Great image, I can definitely see the storm. I think I will try some RGB imaging and see if that helps beat the seeing rather than colour L. Peter

That pretty much matches what I saw with the best seeing on 23rd and 31st and poor seeing since then. Nicely illustrated comparison. Peter

Seeing wasn't great on the 4th, so well done for getting a reasonable result. Peter

Nice image, seeing wasn't great last night. Peter

A very good result, well done. You have achieved a good colour result with showing the major features well. Peter

Seeing not as good as 31st July. Probably my last Jupiter this year, lost behind a house now. Europa shadow and Io in transit. A nice IR/colour Saturn IR Mars showing dark ridge in polar cap, bright Hellas basin upper left and Sinus Meridiani centrally placed. IR RGB colour image with the same details as above and showing the bluish N polar hood.. Peter

A very nice Saturn Peter

Well done, i's a difficult target. Peter

Wonderful images, superb detail and processing - well done. Peter

Excellent

Thanks for the encouraging comments everyone. Peter
