First time Plantery imager, help required

[Ford Prefect]

Hi all

after what seems forever, i have finally got some time to point my C11 edge and DFK21 towards jupiter. Now while I have had this kit for over a year this is the first time I have used it and I have a few questions.

1) do I need to use a UV/IR block filter?

2) what video size and colour format do i use ( yuy2,y800 or by8)?

3) what FPS should I use?

any other advice will be greatfully recieved

cheers Jon

Not sure if this helps...

This a screen grab of the settings that I used for the DMK21. You'd need something similar I would think?

and the finished result...

I'd include that IR/UV cut too Jon . Is it a mono cam you've got? If so, look into the IR pass filters, I'm yet to buy one but by all acounts, they do magic things .

Tony..

PS good to see you back mate .

I used an IR pass filter on Venus, but it may work ok on Jupiter. But it lost so much light that on Saturn/Mars it meant increasing the exposure so much that the frame rate went down to 15fps...

So the IR pass will help, but at the cost of FPS...

You may want to put gamma to 100 as that will give a linear response in the camera. Adjustments can then be left to later processing. Doubt it will make much difference, just a thought.
