A Picture Juipiter From Last Night 10-02 -16

[Grotemobile]

Got out & had another go last night.

Taken with the ZWO ASl185MC.

RGB24. 50% of 4500 frames.

75 fps. Processed in Registax  6

A good end result there. The seeing has been pretty poor around these parts, that and the heat/smoke from all the chimneys.

I think U are right there. The image is going in & out of

focus all the time. That picture is  with 0.1 drizzle.

I keep trying. Have got better.

Hi Steve, nice result there on Jupiter, the gas cloud bands are standing out.

Just a thought but have you tried maybe 10% - 20% good frames? You may find that you could well bring out some extra detail. At 50% frames with average conditions, you may be stacking some bad frames.

Very nice detailed image.

Hi Dave. I will give that a go. I got Registax to sort 50%

on quality. I just thought more frames, the better. Was

not very good conditions that night. I used 0.1 drizzle, which means

I lost a bit of detail, for a bigger image.

Just had another go .No drizzle , & less frames.

Looks like you have stacked less of the poorer frames and your end result has improved as a result of it.

[Aussie Dave]

That's great, heaps better! I wish I could improve mine as quick and as easy as that.

[Grotemobile]

As the image gets bigger, U seem to loose a lot of

the detail. Not using drizzle in Registax, seems

to be the answer.

Have you tried AutoStakkert!2 Steve. AS!2 will show you (roughly) how many good frames you have in the top left hand corner of the processing window plus a video quality graph. It will show you after the 1st of the 3 steps you perform. You can then use Registax for wavelets, RGB align etc, then to your image editing software.

Hi Dave. I cannot get it to work with large  RGB24 file downloads.

I am getting 12k worth of frames sometimes. It just comes

up error. I am getting 100fps sometimes with a 2 minute

download on Jupiter.  5k works ok in ASi2 .  I try to download as many

frames as I can.  I use about 20%. No problems with Registax.  

This new camera is so fast. With Raw 8 mode, I put it through

PIPP first, which reduces it  to 25% of good frames. ASi2 works

ok then .  All good fun mate.

I would stick to capturing in RAW mode and stacking in AS!2 Steve. RGB24 is going to give your hard drive a hernia and registax is not in the same league stacking wise as AS!2.

I do seem to get better results using Raw 8 mode. In  Raw 16 mode, it goes into

using SER files. Is there any advantage using  SER files instead of  avi files Stuart.

Not really up with SER  files.

[Space Cowboy]

16 bit is better for DSOs but there is no real advantage for planets.

Nice work! I sometimes use 16-bit SER files on the sun where the dynamic range can be very high in H-alpha. On planets, 8 bits is generally fine
