Jupiter GRS Nov 1st

[Space Cowboy]

Ever tried imaging an egg frying in boiling fat? Last night Jupiter was bubbling away like i've never seen. Seeing was between 2/10 and 4/10.

Quick process here, doubt there will be any other avis better than this. Very heavy wavelet used to force some detail out.

DFK & Auto Dob with 5X powermate.

Looks good to me.

I was out imaging Jupiter last night, but haven't got round to processing the AVIs yet (busy decorating, but just taking a break at the mo - don't tell my missus).

Got to say though the on screen images looked good during capture on my netbook and the mount behaved impeccably, keeping Jupiter on screen for over two hours or so with minimal manual intervention on my part and that was with a 2.5x barlow and extension tube (the body of another barlow). If only all nights were like that!

Looks better than my effort from last night. You've caught more small features than me. I'm starting to see a trend. Last year around this time the seeing took a serious nose dive aswell.

Good going Stuart still captured quite a lot of detail despite the conditions , i had a quick attempt lastnight but found it too unstable so i packed up .

[Jarvo]

You must have been out at exactly the same time as me ! My image has the same features in the same place. That extra 10 cms makes a difference...

Nice shot

Thanks for your comments chaps! Yes i doubt conditions are not going to match those early summer mornings unless we have some frosty winter evenings. Weather is just too unsettled now. Going through other avis just in case there is something better. Seeing did improve for about 10 mins before 10pm.

I too have one of Jupiter in an almost identical position from last night. I was covering various phases of "GRS hour". I simply couldn't get that result at that magnification that you have though...

[Clayton]

Nice image Stuart, shame about the seeing

[Magnum]

Lots of detail there considering how bad the seeing was

Thanks Clayton, yes having the same seeing problems as you on the other side of the globe lol

Cheers Lee!

Given the conditions I think that is excellent.

I tried the other evening but all I could get was a fuzzy satsuma and the condensation was dreadful.

I take my hat off to you.

Thanks Geoff!

I love ninox! This is a repro using this application quite pleased with the result. Best 2000 frames stacked.

Nice processing Stuart, birds baby has tightened it up a lot hasnt it

[Space Cowboy]

Cheers Neil! Fingers crossed now I've got to grips with the DFK there will be some good seeing for the GRS next time because on this evidence in poor seeing it will be a bit special.

That 2nd "ninox" image is outstanding compared to the first Stuart

if you fancy writing a primer on using Ninox I'll be first in the waiting list;)

[ScubaMike]

Lovely (and softer) detail in the second processing.

Just looks *right* somehow.

[Ringrocket]

All the work paid off, despite the seeing it looks beautiful

Yes, I too look forward to your night with good seeing and your next image.

Cheers Karlo! Ninox is very easy to use, just a case of generating avi into bitmaps and then ninox does the rest. Tutorial is on here :

Thanks Mike & Jeffrey!

I am impressed with the detail you are managed to liberate from your data, great work. Lately I have not even bothered to put the camera on the scope after checking out how bad the seeing was through the EP.

I shall have to give Ninox a go myself, it looks to deliver the goods.

Cheers,

Chris

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks Chris. For me Ninox is the closest thing to manual editing. Registax lets too many poor frames through the net and when seeing is not great that tends to be a lot.

[Orion_the_Hunter]

Looks great to me!

Nice Stuart,

an obvious improvement
