Very nice Lucas. 

What was your imaging scale for this, and what was your avg RMS in Phd2? 

Thanks very much!
The imaging scale was 0.38 arcsec/pixel.

My guider scale is far from ideal.
An OAG would be indicated, but I only have a 60 f4 refractor that gives me 2.42 arcsec/pixel in the guiding. As long as I keep the rms error below 1.5 in the PHD, the images have no problems.
Easier when limited to 300s exposure. This M16 was 600s subs and some had to be excluded because they exceeded this error limit.

Excellent image.  I see lots of images taken via Edge scopes that have chromatic aberrations on the stars - my own images included.  No such artefacts in your image... I'd love to know if that is set-up or processing...

Hi! Thanks a lot!
Do you see chromatic aberration in images taken with mono or color cameras?
I'm sure you have more experience than me with telescopes (you have a great arsenal, so I don't want to repeat basics). The only element capable of generating refraction in the light is the corrector plate and some reducer added before the sensor. I have the Astrophysics CCDT67, but for sure, with no reducer we have less aberration possibility.
Is this aberration from low altitude objects on the horizon?
 

Thanks a lot all friends for the words. I appreciate very much!!

Excellent!!

That's very very nice... Well done indeed. Lots of work I would imagine in that👍

Ed

Thanks, Ed!!
Yes, it's a lot of work and needs too much HD free space too! 😅

Amazing detail.

Thank you, friend!

wow amazing 

Thanks Paul!!

Sheer effort! What's your process to reduce all that ?

Really nice result.

Thanks very much!
My workflow is the standard one for planetary imaging.

1. Capture with Firecapture 2.6
2. Stacking in AutoStakkert 3.0
3. Layers sharpening in Registax 6
4. Animation Gif with PIPP

All videos got throught this same processing. In PIPP you are able to choose the "speed" (FPS) of final GIF.
Hope to have answered your question. Let me know if i didn´t.

Wonderful! Dont think I've ever seen such a long rotation 

Thanks Craig!! 😃

Very nice. Bortle 9! Processing must have been quite difficult. 

Yeah, bortle 9 makes the work become harder.
The background gradient was faint due to limited exposure times (120s max.)
Thanks very much for the reply.

M16 (or only what fits my sensor).

SHO Hubble Palette version

Sii 20x600s
Ha 21x600s
Oiii 23x600s

This type of image is something i'm loving to do. Big targets captured with a huge focal lenght.

For this image was 2050mm FL.

The C11" Edge HD has a great corrected field and no crop is needed. Astrophysics CCDT67 do the job puting telescope in a faster f/7 ratio and no distortion applied.

It's not so easy in this FL to run 600s subs in a intermediate mount like AZ-EQ6 with 70% payload reached.

I had time to play side by side with the famous Hubble version! 😅

Just a smooth processing to keep the galaxy real in the field.

Not able to take long subs due to the light pollution site, the limit exp time was 120s. A RGB challenge in a bortle 9 location.

L 80x120s

RGB 20x120s

C11" HD reduced with a Astrophysics CCDT67 (f/7.3) + ASI1600mm-c

Mount Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 GT

Processing in PixInsight.

This GIF is an animation of 3.5h Jupiter's rotation
There were 130 images for this animation, totaling more than 400 GB of videos and a final average of almost 1.8 million frames (~ 13,838/video).
At the beginning of the night the seeing was not so good, but it improved considerably over the hours. This may include acclimatizing the telescope and reducing heat dissipation from the ground into the atmosphere ....

Many details with good sharpening, including GRS and NEB outbreak.

Equipment:
C11 "+ PM2x + ASI290mc

Excellent!

Excellent image Lucas!
I also have a photo similar to that friend Ruud, but it was made from the assembly of one of mine, LOL.

Avani, esse cara é um artista! Kkkkk

Eu ficaria feliz se Júpiter tivesse 2 GRS!!

Ficaria ainda mais feliz em assistir a fusão dessas 2 GRS!! 🤓

Well done! It's lovely.

Just a little angry. I know. I'm sorry. I did it again.

Kkkkkkk

Very very nice.. good to see that the GRS hasn't disintegrated yet.....

 

Thank you friend!

Yes, the GRS seems to be smaller each year past.  Now the size is about only some earths! 🤣

But we're happy because It is still very interesting in every shapes, movements and all alive activity!

Let's see what it brings to us in the next opposition!
