Some first try at Jupiter

[HenryW]

I took those Pictures With Neximage5 and registacked them and i'm not very satisfied. First, why are the results greenish, and what is the reason for those horrible vertical stripes? Any help would be greatly apreciated

Camera settings, frames stacked?

As Stuart has said the camera settings may need tweaked. What capture software did you use? I use IC Capture that comes with the DBK618 . You may need to adjust the colour balance of the camera.

Well, i used Icap V 2.2 and recorded in default mode exept regulating the gain and exposure (some 1/40ish) sliders. I suspect it can be the AVI format? The resolution is as posted above. Is this all i can expect for Neximage5 trogh a 8 inch telescope? Woud it help recording Jupiter trough my Bresser Messier 127 refractor?

Frames = some 2000 and 500 used.

Stick with your 8" scope Henry. Ok so your using ICCapture. I would set white balance at "auto" and use y800 for colour and video codec.

On the toolbar click the histogram button and make sure the histo is 60-70% full so you have the correct brightness. Leave gamma at 100 and I would usually have gain at 50-70%. Capture an avi of 3 mins and depending on the frame rate i.e at 30fps you should get over 5000 frames or 60fps 10000. Stack at least 1000 ideally 2-3000.

Autostakkert (AS!2) is better for stacking and aligning before opening the stacked TIFF file in registax for auto rgb alignment, auto rgb balance and wavelets.

Hope this helps. You should get some very nice images with your 8" scope.
