How to get me detail? Jupiter

[zakkhogan]

Hi all,

This is a shot from the other evening, 3000 frames reduced down to around 300. Regixtax was set to 100% quality,

CPC800 and Celestron Neximage (original)

I know the neximage isnt the best camera but what can i do to capture more detail? also the was some dirt on the lens

Thanks

Keep gain above 50% and gamma 0-10%. If you are using sharpcap to capture there is a exposure histogram which needs to be 60-70% full.

Your image has onion rings which suggests gain was too low though video compression can also cause this depending on what capture software and video codec you were using (also if frame rate was too high on a usb 1.1 cam).

Ideally you need to stack 500-1000 frames from a 3-4 min avi.

Hi Stuart,

I was using sharp cam, not at my home computer at the moment so i dont have the full details but i believe it was 30fps ?

I ran the avi's though pipp, Ive never used pipp before, read about it in another thread, i think its a music nicer image, what ya think

Very nice! Much better than my first attempts from the weekend. Well done.

How did you add the names?

I used Gimp to ad the names, but i you could use any image editor, even paint to a lesser extent

Unless I'm wrong and the neximage is usb 2.0 then 30fps will be compressed so you need to be using 10-15fps like the philips spc900 cam.
