April 30 (just), 2017: Jupiter with C8 and ASI224MC again

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Here are four images of Jupiter captured just now. Seeing was pretty decent, but at the low altitude of Jupiter there was still quite a bit of wobble. I didn;t use the ADC this time, because FireCapture 2.5 kept seizing up, refusing to capture more than about 120 frames. FireCapture 2.4 did behave, so I used it, but as that lacks the ADC tool, I felt I was better off without the ADC this time round. I am pretty pleased with the result, all the more because the odd "ringing"artefact seen in previous images is absent, or at least much smaller, so I don't notice it.

 

I notice the images seem to be scaled up in my browser, compared to the Windows Image Viewer or GIMP. Does make them look a bit blurry.

Nice images Michael:

I always have the problem that images which look sharp in PShop on my laptop look less detailed and "flatter" when uploaded as a file.

A very nice set of images, the seeing is absolutely critical.
