Still closer than my family in Greece and my wife's in Japan. But I know what you mean.
I found astrosurface a lot better on pulling details even under so and so seeing.
If you remember in our chat, I said Registax was better for my mono filters but the last post I made on Jupiter with the filters, I used astrosurface and pushed the wavelets a bit harder as I opted for higher exposure 75ms than 20ms (UV and CH4) and less gain (therefore less noise) based on our conversation on what Christopher Go does; I also ignored the histogram for these two filters (over 100%) but my IR is at 95%. I think 90-95 gives a lot less noise and does not need to push too hard to get details. Even with average seeing, colour Jupiter seems to far better at higher exposure but I want to do it more properly (also I tried to be close to 80-90%). If only we had constant good skies for these tests.
It makes sense now. I saw Christopher is down to 30s now with the newer noiseless cameras but he does not seem to suffer with too much bad seeing either despite being in Phillipines.
