Jupiter from Bembridge 26/04

[SnakeyJ]

I only did one run last night at 2224, then messed about with collimation, tweaked the ADC and chased focus for a good 90 minutes before packing up.    However, I did get one 120 second capture as an experiment and was quite surprised to get a reasonable result despite the conditions.     

I've done two stacks, one of 2500 frames and another of 3500 from the capture of 12,385 at 640x480 (3.5GB of data). 

2500 frames vs 3500 frames

 

There's possibly a tad more saturation on the larger stack size, but perhaps unsurprisingly have sacrificed some fine detail for a smoother image.     

 

It does demonstrate that the high frame rates and large stacks can still yeild credible results despite poor conditions.

Very likeable smooth image.

I think both are very nice images, perhaps just enjoying the first a bit more.

very nice images. would be chuffed with either one.

Excellent end result, funny how the data doesn't always reflect the final image sometimes.

Good result Jake, the smaller stack just edges it for me.
