Jupiter 11th August - good seeing

[astroman001]

The hot sultry conditions gave a lazy boiling appearance to Jupiter with some good detail visible beneath. Autostakkert and Registax did their magic and produced a reasonable result for 17 degs altitude.

GRS and Callisto's shadow prominent.

Excellent capture..  I see you used the ZWO ADC do you feel it makes a difference?  (I think I know what your answer will be, but just asking.)

[astroman001]

Yes, but it has run out of adjustment with the planets at this very low altitude. It's not possible to bring red and blue completely to the same focus but it significantly reduces the effect.

There are things you can do like increasing the distance between ADC and camera to the prisms have a greater effect. However at f/22 on a C14 Jupiter is huge already.

It's most effective above 20 degs I would say.

very nice shadow transit, shame about the ADC running out of adjustment! 

[astroman001]

You can recombine the colour channels in Autostakkert when processing which works quite well. Never as good as full ADC functionality though.

Some nice detail there.
