Jupiter from the 28th

[Pete Presland]

Up again at 4am to image Jupiter, the conditions a little than the last time  The jet-stream has cleared the country, but it was fog that was now the issue 

The usual C9.25 scope, ASI120mm with around 7.5 mins of data de-rotated in Winjupos. A little more detail than last time and the GRS on show 

On the plus side I have managed to remove the "blue" on the limb that occurs when I combine my images in Winjupos. Simply reducing the blue LD Value from 100 to 90 before combining has done the trick.

And at least I had the good sense to go back to bed at 5:45 when it was "clear" the fog had won!

This is an outstanding result given the seeing lately in the UK. What a dedication to wake up that early. Did you use any filters? how long did you shoot each channel?

Thank you, it is 150 secs per RGB channel, I was using the Astronomic type 2 RGB  filter set.

That is considerably better than the last outing isn't it Pete. But still way short of what we know can be got, even at 30 degrees Under good seeing the detail should pop right out. but we are not getting seeing like that yet. maybe in a few weeks when we get out of this deep freeze. Just have to keep trying. But the detail has sharpened a lot, since your last outing

so going in the right direction. The seeing I posted on my shot is actually quite horrendous. Some of the worst I have ever had to deal with. What with you and Freddy getting similar seeing, its clear we are in a bad spell, just wondering when that's going to change. Hope it not as long as spring

[Pete Presland]

We just have to keep plugging away, it was pretty dispiriting this morning when I saw the conditions. It will change, fingers crossed we don't miss it!

Getting better Pete, shame about the fog.  Ten out of ten for perseverance!

I gave it a miss as fog had been forecast, so I was annoyed to wake up to clear blue skies!
