Jupiter 14-11-2012

[Lightsucker]

Hi all,

my first post here...

I just November 2012)started imaging the planets and still learning the processing techniques.

I imaged Jupiter the 14th -11 with reasonable steady seeing conditions.

processed in AS!2 and photoshop.

still some artefacts on the edge but am working on that.

800 off 2500 frames stacked in RGB.

Very nice image there. What did you use to combine the R, G and B images?

[Lightsucker]

Thx for the thumbs up , I started out by using registax 6 to do the alligning stacking and combining.

It gave a lot off artefacts on the surface.

I changed my favourite program to autostakkert 2 AS!2. Made by Emil Kraaikamp who is one of the best planetary imagers I know.

It only allignes and stacks the frames.from there I open registax and do some wavelets sharpening.

This image was alligned and stacked in registax ( the r g and b tiffs ) .

It,s still giving some artefacts on the edges but now I know a way of doing the Rgb alligning and combining the rgb in PS.

this method works perfect imho .

cant wait to image again , but the wheather is about AS bad AS in the uk .

waiting on cs.

Very impressive image Frans!

Have you thought about giving WinJupos a go to combine the R, G and B images Frans?

[Lightsucker]

Have you thought about giving WinJupos a go to combine the R, G and B images Frans?

if it works fine , sure , I just started this aspect of our hobby so I am open to all suggestions

is it a better way of combining Rgb?

[Freddie]

It takes a bit of time to set up but it does have the advantage that it will derotate the images as the planet will have rotated slightly between each of the R, G and B image sets. Definately worth a try I think, though your image is very good anyway. Give it a go and see what you think.

Looks impressive!

[Lightsucker]

Give it a go and see what you think.

ok Will try this programm , pff another software package to learn . What a hobby!

but if it,s worth ....

i saw that after 90 sec,s the rotation is visable already ..

thx for the tip

[Arushin]
