I saw Jupiter's cloud bands and moons for the first time tonight, it was amazing.

Some nice detail in this "oldie" Simon...but are you/did you use some smoothing/noise reduction (like ANR) from Image Analyser in the processing..?

Cracking job Simon. Looks a bit bare with no noise at all?

Cheers Darryl I used very little noise reduction, as never really know how far to push it sometimes, heres the same images using a touch more noise control I value your opinion as always!

Thanks also Harvey heres an image from the 10-3-14!

Hi Simon - I didn't mean to infer that the noise control was inadequate, not at all! Like Harvey there looked to be a total absence of noise in the first images you posted and wondered whether ANR or something similar had been employed..?

Fwiw I reckon they needn't have been quite so smooth actually - but you know the data you worked with and my observation was only an impression from my perspective..!

Hi Darryl I miss understud your post but sometimes im not sure if the noise reduction is adequate or not as peoples preference are so different!

I have image analyser but prefer to use astra image si or helicon filter both of which have good noise mapping tools & btw its software from down under!  Happy new year to you!

Simon, they are all incredibly smooth! I can see why Darryl asks you about noise reduction. The only things showing on them seems to be the detail??

Top job, incredibly well done!

Cheers Pete thanks again Harvey appreciated!

Definitely a collection of images for the album Simon, Great Work!
