Jupiter Aug 31st PIPP repro

[Space Cowboy]

Ran the best avi through PIPP from the 31st. Quite please with the result of 4000 frames stacked using the "enable quality weighting" setting. Less noise has enabled me to produce a decent 150% (1.5x drizzle) image :

For any of those worried about rotational blur this was a 4 min avi at f26.

Cracking Shot Stuart! ive also taken longer avis with more success on Jupe, but having problems with my pipp download.

Nice shot indeed, and thanks for the tip about PIPP, looks interesting, will need to experiment with it

That is a stunning image Stuart. Lots of detail and you have nailed the colour perfectly. I especially like the colour between the equatorial belts.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks guys!

Love your latest PIPP version Chris, so easy to use and especially effective when seeing is not at its best.

Prefer that redo Stuart. Think youve got the best out of it. The resize works well. showing more detail to my failing eyes. sharp, detailed and smooth. Quite a bit better i think than the first trys. Nice processing.

Ive also been trying The quality weighting on last years shots. Not sure if its helping. As Chris says no noise reduction will come from using it. But it maybe adding detail weight i am not sure ?

Ive been checking Pipps quality estimation against A/S2s when i run it through pipp first. It seems pretty close to me. Nice software Chris thanks for making it available to us all.

Wonder if its clear tonight Stuart. i am going to check, there is high pressure around

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks Neil. I'm thinking the quality weighting allowed me to use more frames without softening the detail too much.

Yep, weather looks much better this week!

A lovely version Stuart

Cheers Rob!

Sorry I missed this Stuart- 4mins !

[Clayton]

4 mins shouldn't be a problem at all as 3 mins is ideal at opposition IMHO, and Jupiter appears a fair bit smaller ATM than at opposition.

I can't understand why people are so afraid of longer captures?? If rotational smearing rears it's ugly head then there are two very simple remedies.

a. winJUPOS

b. Crop the video with Virtual Dub

Problem solved

You read these scare stories in the newspapers....... Well said Rob!
