    Thanks Kon, I'll investigate your leads buty I hate the idea of giving a Windows OS access to my Macs.

    Crossover does not install windows as it is only an emulator and you do not need to partition any of your hard drive. I never owned a PC and I have to use one for my satellite tracking software and it is driving me nuts.

  2. First one is better than the others but still very noisy. The seeing was probably not the best as it seems to be soft.

    I hope you don't mind, but your workflow is way  too complicated. If you have a soft capture no tool is going to make it look sharp. Keep imaging and hope for the good seeing one night.

    The topaz is making a mess and it's more obvious on the 2 and 3 image. ALPO discourages AI tools.

    Have a play with Astrosurface and imageanalyzer.  Many of us have moved to it. I haven't had much success with wavesharp.

    Finally, worth getting longer captures per channel so you have more data. In the long term, you may want to consider an OSC camera as you can capture several colour videos and derotate them.

    They discarded 92% of frames from the first run and 96% from the second. And the frames are quite long - 10ms and 5ms in the second run. I thought they would be far shorter!

    Most of us do around 10ms for Jupiter as it gives better noise to signal ratio. Going too fast sometimes is not that beneficial. I used to go for fast FPS but Geoff and Neil had done some nice experimentation here to change my thinking.

    I still don't know how you manage to get these shots, they are just amazing. You have not done a You tube video by any chance?😏

    Thanks. I am really trying on getting the tracking to work. No YouTube but happy to make a more detailed post on setting up, capture and processing at some point.

     

    Will you keep the goto on your new 16" setup? If I get it to work, I am happy to share how I did it.

  5. Another ISS pass at 60 degrees last night. I managed a few good frames despite the so and so seeing. I need to find the time to put the whole capture in an animation, but for now some of the best frames.

    Apart from the several modules, I seem to have got the canadarm2 as well! 12" Flextube Goto, asi462mm, IR pass filter, 2.5x televue powermate. Manual tracking.
