This was taken at 12:27am last night. I used an Skywatcher 200p on an AstroEQ Vixen GP with a Revelation x5 Barlow. The image was captured with an Altair GPCAM v1 using Sharpcap. I stacked the best 50% of 3875 frames from a two minute AVI.

The image was processed with PIPP, Autostakkert, Registax and GIMP2.9.

Very nice result. I see you were still imaging when I had packed things in (around 1 AM Amsterdam time). I clearly just missed the baby red spot turning the corner.

Thanks Michael. I kept going to about 1am. By that time the seeing was getting worse so I packed it in. Interestingly most of my captures were done in 12 bit, but this image is from one of the two 8 bit captures and it's by far the best result. The number of frames being stacked isn't that different so it must be down to seeing during that capture run. I still have some of the 12 bit captures to process so I'll see how I get on.

Lovely detailed shot there with the economy sized red spot rising and the string of pearls heading to the opposite limb! Well caught.
