My Latest Jupiter

[Astrosurf]

I'm posting this in the beginners' section as I don't feel too confident with planetary AP! I want to try stacking my stacked set of TIFFs in PS to see if they create a better image. This is just one of the stacks of 2000 frames. I used a 3X TAL Barlow. I'm hopeless at focusing but did my best even though the Moon was bright and very close. I'm glad I caught the GRS though! I just wish I could get more detail. I'll have to save up for a good planetary camera for that I think!

Nice one Alexx - some good detail and the GRS - what more could you ask for?

That's a great pic, lots of detail, far better than my pink thing that I took.

That's a great image. I wouldn't be ashamed of it at all.

That's very nice.

Thanks guys! I'm never satisfied!

Nice image Alex, what kit did you use and what did you use to stack with?

Nice image, confirms our visual white spot near the GRS and the darker areas to the belt edges, hurrah !

Thanks! I used my Phillips webcam with the 200P and the 3X TAL Barlow. Captured by SharpCap and stacked in Registax + Wavelets. Then a bit more very gentle processing in PS. There were some artifacts from Wavelets which I had to get rid of. A cheat, but I love PS!

Try stacking in autostakker2 instead of registax. It may pull out a bit more detail. Easier on your computers memory too.

I'll try that. Thank you!
