Humble Jupiters w/GRS

[JohnSadlerAstro]

Hi,

I was testing my new OpticStar 90s f/8.8 on the EQ5 on Monday night, I decided to try for a couple of Jupiter shots.

All 3 are taken about 10-15 mins apart, 90sec of video each at about 100-120fps, with the ASI 120MC. 

I'm don't really have a clue what I'm doing with the wavelet processing in RegiStax, does anyone have some advice on what sort of settings I should use?

Thanks for looking!  

John

No-one knows ?

I just fiddle to get a balance between sharpness and noise ! top 2 or 3 sliders usually, the better the image is to start with I find the more I can sharpen without too much noise.

A very nice widefield view with your new scope.

You are going to be limited on just how much detail that is going to be visible, you might want to use a Barlow next time to increase your focal length maybe.

As for wavelets, I tend to always use "linked wavelets" and generally only the 1st 3 sliders. You can also block the noise which occurs by using the denoise setting in the 1st slider.

Planetary processing is hugely subjective subject in terms of how much, how to, and what with. You will find many opinions around, I guess experimentation is one of the best routes, especially as no 2 images are the same, even from the same night with the same equipment.

Thank you for the kind comments, I'm still very new to planetary and also refractors, but this is very fun!

I did a reprocess using linked wavelets and adjusted the contrast a bit to get a more "clean" overall look, I think it looks a bit better.

 

This is a "blown up" version of the same image.
