Jupiter GRS Jan 19th

[Space Cowboy]

Amazingly it was clear last night despite the cloud forecast but alas it was the usual ball of fuzz with the stars flashing away.

Quick mono red/colour cam process from 23.24 UT. f24 (actual size).

Nice capture Stuart - despite the all to familiar crappy seeing! Showers here last night which meant ice this morning  .

Thanks fellas! Here is another with the colour cam, think this has more potential. These are just quick netbook stacks :

Lovely image Stuart!

Very nice  We had a brief period of good seeing here, followed by increasing mushiness as the evening went on

Good transit last night and being able to get out and image anything was a bonus after some truly rotten weather down at this end of the country.    My best seeing came just before 23:00hrs and lasted 40 mins or so before the clouds returned.

Lovely detail in there, especially the southern hemisphere below the GRS - the north looks quite serene in contrast.    I've been looking back at some of Damien's images over the last 4 years and it's incredible how volatile/dynamic the Jovian atmosphere is - real weather on an awesome scale..

Cheers Richard!

Thanks James & Jake, the seeing did seem to briefly improve between 11-11.30.  Jupiter is such a dynamic planet with all that cloud vortex racing around. I bet those Jupiter residents have some pretty choppy seeing when imaging Earth!

Couple more combined in winjupos. 1st is 3 colour stacks combined and 2nd is the 3 colour stack combined with a red mono :

Turns out I've been imaging at f18 not f24!

[JamesF]

Very nice indeed

All cracking images Stuart, especially liking your Winjupos versions. 

[jambouk]

Amazing. I love the additional detail you get with mono cameras, but i just can't face the filter wheel and focusing issues!

[U Cyg]

Great images Stuart, especially the Winjupos ones!  I think I will have to learn to use Winjupos.

[Kokatha man]

Very nice, especially the WJ jobs!

[Space Cowboy]

Amazing. I love the additional detail you get with mono cameras, but i just can't face the filter wheel and focusing issues!

Thanks. You don't need a filter wheel if you combine the mono and colour camera images. Just a case of swapping the cameras around every 5-10 mins.

Cheers guys! Angie winjupos works very well when seeing is not great as you can combine 2 or 3 of the better stacked images to produce one with less noise that can be upscaled or sharpened that bit more.

pretty good, for the fuzzy Seeing. Some good detail. Worth getting out

Very nice Jupiter image, loving the detail.

What scope was that taken with?
