First nice Jupiter! 11.11.12

[Annamely]

I took this last night / this morning at 1am. My, what an improvement since my first attempt! I am well chuffed!

Equipment used: Celestron 6se, 2X barlow and Phillips spc900, through Sharpcap and then processed with Registax 5.1

I also attach my first attempt, for a comparison! Practice definitely makes better! Still, constructive criticism welcome! Do you think I could get even better? Weather conditions were not amazing, got a lucky few minutes window of relative stability.

Thanks for watching, Anne

[Bizibilder]

Very good. And good to see the improvement - thats the thing with Astrophotography, it seems easy until you try!

[Annamely]

Thanks for the kind comments!

[Virgoman]

That`s a corker Anne. Plenty of detail revealed nicely done!

Best regards,

Ralph

[Atlas]

Wonderful image!

[Freddie]

Very nice images

[BuzzBomb]

Wow, that is quite a marked difference! You're first shot was good, but this latest is fantastic.

[eli71]

Great improvement! Thanks for posting. It gives hope and encouragement to some of us to keep trying it .

looks very nice

[althecoal]

Thats a great piccy with loads of detail, id be well pleased with that.

[cowasaki]

Excellent. One of the best sights in the solar system

[Annamely]

Thanks all, indeed I am so very pleased!! And happy and proud if my lil' effort gives hope and encouragement to others!

Also I got AS!2 last night just to try and I reprocessed the avi, and I got... Io & Callisto! Oh my!

Io (furthest left) was just about visible on the avi, but definitely not Callisto, I am plain amazed! Yippee!

[Space Cowboy]

That is a super image Anne you've nailed the processing beautifully. AS!2 is way better than registax when stacking and aligning the planet and moons. Might be worth trying 1.5x drizzle for a larger scale.

If seeing is good next time try that 3x powermate

[Hugechris]

Great Image lots of detail, I have a similar set up, but seem to be struggling with the seeing in Wimbledon just up the road from you.

[si@nite]

Lovely shot Anne & nice processing well done!

[AceShaw]

Nice dude! I Tried to look at jupiter through my 6se the other night, and all i saw was a bright ball...definitely can't wait to be able to see something like this!

[Kokatha man also!]

Very nice indeed Anne - especially with a modest-sized scope!

I hope you don't mind but this image (I just chose your first) can have quite a bit more squeezed out of it.....a bit or upscaling, some "Smart Sharpen" and "Auto Colour" a "Fade" - maybe a tad overdone but you get the idea...

[neil phillips]

I missed this, well done as mentioned you only have a small scope. the detail is showing well. way to go Anne.

[theo]

Lovely shot Anne. I think you have done really well with this and the processing looks very good also.

You have captured a couple of very nice detailed images there Anne ..... makes the cold weather endurance test all seem worthwhile when the plan comes together eh?

Congrats,

Alan
