Help needed please. (Lack of colour on Jupiter)

[Ryan_86]

Hi fellow star gazers,

   

I managed to capture a 1:30 video of Jupiter last night using a 200p dob and my Canon 600d. I used the 3x digital zoom aka crop mode for this pic

but I also have a 5x vid & 10x vid not as many frames of course but thought I would try out different settings.

For this pic I ran the 3x vid through pipp to convert to avi crop & allign. All together I had 2152 frames. Things were looking good as the test threshold was showing that it was not fuzzy batch of pixels I split the Rgb then processed. Then uploaded all 3 to AS2. I auto selected ap's & selected 50% of frames then let it do its magic. After that I uploaded it to registax2 for wavelets & rgb allign hit do all & this was the result. I also repeated the process not selecting split rgb in pipp but the result was the same.

I am happy as this is my 1st attempt at imaging a planet but craving some colour. If anyone could give me a little help & advice I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Have you tried boosting saturation? I think I can see some colour in the bands, it may just need a boost.

What do you have  ?

Photoshop, GIMP, Pixinsight, Registax etc will all do it.

I just had a fiddle with the saturation in both rs6 & ps. I preferred it in ps as I can fine tune it. Defo seeing more colour now.

What do you think?

Thanks again
