What a difference a day (well two) makes - Jupiter 4 vs 6 April

[Starman]

Hi All, 

I was looking forward to the jet stream decreasing last night but it remained for most of the session, creating high frequency jitters. Despite this and a gusty wind, I managed to get some fairly decent results, covering the GRS coming on disk. Here is one of my results from 4 April compared with a similar view from 6 April (a fraction over 48hrs time difference). Lots of tiny (unless you're on Jupiter of course!) changes visible. At least it shows I'm consistent with my processing - lol!

Best regards, 

Pete Lawrence

_{Both lovely but the second is stunning in sharpness and detail. Just shows what aperture can do even from the UK.}

Stunning images. AARGH, aperture fever strikes again!

Jupiter is really wonderfully dynamic, and this comparison shows that nicely

Fantastic images Pete, both of them, I can see the improvement in the later one though.

I was observing Jupiter earlier in the week and had real problems picking out detail apart from a few moments of clarity when the seeing improved. Seeing is not something I really consider enough and the jet stream hadn't even entered my mind. Must read more on the topic...

Lovely pictures though, congrats.

Lovely Jupiters Pete, had a look last night but too windy for imaging, one time I could have done with a dome instead of a ROR

Beautiful details on both, interesting to see the subtle changes.

Lovely images.

Wow. Great images. I need  to start saving!!

A brace of great images there Pete. A tad purple on my monitor(?) but lovely detail.

Best regards

Thanks for the comments. 

Peter: That's interesting. I have just done a random sample across a number of regions on the planet and haven't got anything back to suggest that the balance is off.

Cheers, 

Pete

Maybe my monitor/eyes are out. I do struggle to get my colour balance right in my images.

Best wishes

I could convince myself there's a blue cast off to the right of the disc. I've got a load of additional results to wade through, I'll see whether this comes out when I process them.

Both are great images full of very nice detail. The second one is just the winner to my eyes.

[Starman]

Thanks Laudropb! Yes, I think the detail is sharper on the right hand image. I have better results (I think) from this session which I haven't processed yet, so it'll be interesting to see how they come out.

Nice Pete

it would be interesting to keep imaging the same longitude and see the changes over a month or so
