A lost and forgotten Jupiter!

[DKNicholson]

This is what happens when going through 'old' astronomy files. I found a video file of Jupiter that I hadn't processed from way back in March 2016. It turns out to be the best image of Jupiter that I have managed and I'd forgotten I'd even taken the video!!

Telescope: Meade LX90-8"

Camera : ZWO ASI120MC

Barlow: Antares 2" x1.6

Capture: Sharpcap

Frames: 20% of 2,000

Processing: AS!3 - Registax6 - Photoshop CS3

The frame was cropped but the image is full size.

Well that was a lucky find and one not to be wasted.

Very nice! Tons of detail visible. Could do with the colour balance tweaking slightly perhaps? Looks a bit green to me.

Hi,
Excellent work, bet Jupiter was a bit higher in the sky that year.
The detail you have captured is also showing a bit of shadow on the right limb.
Regards,

Steve

Yes - I'm inclined to agree - I think I became a bit colour confused! 😖 Is the attached a bit better?

What a lucky find! Beautiful image of the planet, the moons and the GRS. I may have to go through some old files of my own, lol.
