Jupiter Nov 4th Io transit repro

[Space Cowboy]

Couple of repros from the 4th.

First image is a 50/50 red mono/colour cam shot combined in winjupos and the second shot is just a single colour cam shot.1.5x Drizzle.

Lovely pictures. I was also photographing Jupiter last night, but havn't had a chance to look at them so I didn't know about the transit. I'll check it to see if I got anything.

Really nice images, well done

Good detail in the first image, and the shadow is looking better  but I think the shadow is better defined in the osc image.

Nicely done Stuart. Detail very good in the 50/50 image, that extra mono red layer really making the difference.

I agree the 50/50 shot is very nice indeed with good detail, nice one Stuart!

Think you have pulled out a lot on the first image. Some good detail in there. I like the detail, versus the natural second shot. Both good but in there own ways. Colour and levels good too. Gone are the days where I complained about dimness. Though to be fair that is rather a matter of personal taste. Ive noticed a top imager processing on the dim side. And they do look amazing. But I do like the vibrant balance personally.

excellent colors Stuart, very nice result!

Thanks for your generous comments guys!

Still not happy with the mono red combo shot looking over cooked making the limb artifact stick out like a sore thumb. Need a happy medium and at the moment when I use less wavelets I'm getting something too soft. Maybe I've over estimated the seeing and rather than good it was only average. The mono red being that much more sensitive has thrown me a little. Too used to processing softer OSC images lol

Don't forget, you haven't had a proper crack for sometime. So Jupiter will have improved a lot. perhaps making seeing judgments more confusing. Yes your  likely right,  getting that happy medium can sometimes be elusive for a bit. It  often is with me too.

You are probably right Neil it takes a while get your eye in. My gut feeling while capturing was for average seeing as focusing was not straight forward which it should be in good seeing but when I put the mono red through wavelets the detail hit me between the eyes and I thought  seeing was better than I first anticipated.

Another repro of the colour cam image but using less frames (1000 from 12000). The image is sharper and more vibrant though I had to use a lot of noise reduction so I've downsized 85%. Only 2 alignment points were used.
