Jupiter 1st December

[Stargazer Jack]

Hi everybody,

This is a image of Jupiter from around 9:00 tonight. I had been struggling with getting the correct settings but with some help from the forum, I think I had the right settings :D. One problem I did have though was the motor woud give missing the teeth and slipping which was annoying but I managed to fix it however I need to have a proper look. Anyway, the settings for the image are:

[Philips SPC 900NC PC Camera]

Frame Divisor=1

Resolution=640x480

Frame Rate (fps)=10.00

Colour Space / Compression=YUY2

Exposure=-8

Brightness=45

Contrast=22

Saturation=-2

Gamma=0

ColorEnable=255

BacklightCompensation=0

Gain=63

I think that is the GRS and a possible storm behind it on the right of the planet which I am very pleased about. Any advice welcome

Was the image attached? ;-]

[Stargazer Jack]

That might help. I thought I had attached but clearly not. I will post it in a minute

EDIT: I have now posted the image, sorry

[Sirius Bizness]

Can't see anything yet mate.

Out of interest, what scope and other kit are you using? Any barlows? If I set the gain to anything more than zero in Sharpcap all I get is a white disc. All the other settings I use are similar to yours.

[Stargazer Jack]

It should be there now.

I am using the SW Explorer 130M, Philips SPC900NC and a 2x Barlow. The mount is also a EQ2 with a RA Motor. I would set the gain to the highest and then adust the brightness or exposure. It is better to have a dim image than a bright image.

Hope this helps but ask if you need anymore information.

I will answer in the morning

I don't think there's too much to complain about there for a first image. Sorting out the tracking will help, I'm sure. If it's possible to find some way to get reasonable polar alignment that will also make a difference. Mostly it's just practice though.

If you download PIPP then you can run your avi file through that before processing it with Registax and it will centre all the images and do a few other useful bits of tidying up for you as well.

You seem to have captured a lot of

detail on the planet.Impressed .

Here is another image I have just processed. The wavelets for the first image are 45,45,45,45,-5,-5. I just put the wavelets all the way to the right to bring out all the detail however this means their is lots of noise in the image. Hope you like them

Another tool for your toolbox: Image Analyzer

The 'Adaptive Noise Reduction' tool under 'Operations->Filters' is great at removing noise.

Cheers,

Chris

[Stargazer Jack]

Thanks Chris, will download that tomorrow :]

[BuzzBomb]

Very good images there. I like the detail.

Thanks for the software link too. Looks to be useful.

Stuart did a nice tutorial on using Image Analyser: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/162217-processing-jupiter-with-image-analyser-tutorial/

Well done nice images

Hi all,

These are my most recent attempts using all the settings you guys have mentioned along with some better avi capturers.

I am looking at buying a new scope and mount but feel like I should keep pushing my current kit before I spend a PPI payment on a scope! :-)

sorry wrong forum! Doh!
