Just had my first proper run at Jupiter tonight using my lovely ASI 178 MM. The scope is just a little Skymax 102. I used a Wratten 8 filter to sharpen up the image a bit. I used Autostakkert because, well, I googled for planetary stacking software and it was the first result 😃

I think you can just see a moon off to the right...

A fine image, a decent level of activity especially for the aperture.

Thanks! I read the AS! docs at lunch today, turns out I might be able to get more out of the image by... not doing everything wrong! 😃

I can see two moons in fact - nice image.

I am going to try reprocess tonight. I'll try sharpen up the moons.

Edit: Well, I found I could boost but not circularize the moons, but getting more detail on the planet just pushed up the noise. Any more sharpening and the belts start to look hard and artificial.
