Jupiter, GRS and Io 23/02/2016

I have not done been doing any planetary imaging for the last couple of years but recently decided to try to get back into it. We had some reasonable seeing last night so I captured this. 8 inch Helios Newtonian, ZWO ASI120MC, 2x Televue Barlow with extension, captured with Sharpcap, Autostakkert for stacking and Registax 6 for wavelets. 60% of 5000 frames at approx. 70fps

That is very nice. Very natural colour and contrast

That's a nice result. 3,000 frames is a lot to stack so you are including a lot of the poorer frames in the stack. 25-30% should be fine to keep the noise down and include a higher proportion of the better frames.

Very nice image. GRS is looking good.

Thanks guys, and Freddie, I shall bear your advice in mind for future captures.

[Space Cowboy]
