Jupiter 19.01.2016

[Pete Presland]

Three of the better Jupiter's from last week. The usual set up C9.25/ASI120mm 4000 frames stacked in A/S2 and combined in CS2. Seeing conditions were pretty decent for this winter so far.

No GRS or transits this time unfortunately

Plenty of details on those again Pete, though look a bit red on my monitor.

Yes I think your right i think the third one certainly does look a bit redder than the other two as well. I think I am going to have try and calibrate my new laptop better, I am struggling with colour balance I suppose I could try a RGB align in Reg6.

Nice ones Pete! 

  I haven't been out for quite a while....hoping to soon though.  I have the same gear and hoping I can remember a few of the things I learned last time out.  Seems like every outing for me is a new adventure fraught with senior moments...lol

 

Cheers

Very nice images with plenty of detail. Well done.

Pete...I forgot to ask...are you using Firecapture, and which settings are you using?

 

Thanks

I seem to be producing images that are all little red, how do you balance yours Darryl ?

I just try to get the Histogram to around 70-75% full, normally the Gamma and Gain are around 50-55 and exposure set to suit the histogram.

Nice images Pete

Absolutely fabulous  I have just been clicking the RGB auto balance in Registax and leave it at that.

I have done a reprocess of two images one using GIMP the other C/S2 the thread is here https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/261930-gimp-v-cs2-off-colour-jupiter-images/ the GIMP image does for some reason give a better balanced image for some reason.

A nice set of images, they are a too red, RGB align in R6 works reasonably well, so does colour balance in CS2 with which you can operate on shadows, midtones and highlights separately.

Pete.

Use your camera during the daylight to set it up. You'll find that will make a huge difference.
