A Jupiter in IR 685 nm!

Due to the low altitude one can capture using an IR Pass filter.
800 frames in AS! 2
Processing: PIPP, AS 2, Registax 6, Photofiltre and Fitswork!

Nicely done Avani - I'm considering the Baader 685 as an alternative to my PP742, it should at least be parfocal with my Baader LRGB set!

Nice one indeed. When Jupiter swings round a bit more, I will certainly give my IR filter another go.

Excellent image!  I do like these wide views of the planets.

Well done! Any tips on how to achieve the best focusing possible?

excellent image, filters certainly make a difference. i had some very pleasing results with the 742 pro planet on Saturn earlier in the year, looking forward to trying it on Jupiter.

Great image Astroavani. Great perspective of Jupiter and some of the family!

Nice.

Jake, Satf e Pete Presland!

I have noticed better performance using IR Pass filter from Baader 685 than the 742 Astronomik IR pass.
Logically, the filter 742 that would deliver superior results for my very bad seeing walking around here and how it is more selective should better circumvent this bad seeing.
However tonight I made several capture using the two filters and the 685 did better on almost all.
We have been discussing in a forum here in Brazil precisely the fact of the 742 Astronomik have a gap right at the blue wavelength spectrum, ie it misses a part of this wavelength.
So I think this may compromise the attainment of a better result, since the blue wavelength with a bad seeing tends to degrade the image noticeably.

Avani.

Thanks Avani - an interesting perspective, and I something I will have to try myself!
