First webcam image of jupiter using a 200p dob

[Elm0]

So after mounting my 200p on a heq5, i modded a lifecam 3000 for a bit of fun.

This is my first image of Jupiter.

I dont totally understand wavelets other than it seems to intesify details. During the process, I seem to have produced step like lines on the surface. Any way to smoothen them out.

Any suggestions welcome.

looks real good.

go a bit easier on the wavelets

Should i be using all wavelet channels. i heard 3-6 are the main ones.

I also heard AS2 was a better stacker, so tried that first and used registax to do the wavelets. seems a lot smoother now.

They are excellent, well done.

[Elm0]

Thanks. Im happy with them.

I stacked best 80% of 500 frames. Can i expect to get more detail with more frames/ longer exposure.

Also, these are un-barlowed, so will that help?

You're doing really well there! It's a nice image. And yes, those Wavelets are both a blessing and a curse! I mostly use 4-6 with a tiny tweak with 1-3 if the image allows.

Wow, nice work!

I also just finished modding Lifecam cinema, tried it on the moon, but it was too cloudy yesterday night.

I am astonished and getting excited that you are able to get such great details without using any Barlow lens!

I think most people find a webcam better with planets than a dslr.

The speed at which you capture the frames gets those fleeting moments when the atmosphere isnt interfering. Get enough of them and process in registax or autostakker.

Well done! Nicely done with the webcam!
