Jupiter - wringing 80mm dry!

[Yawning Angel]

With this I've tried to push the data as far as it could stand (if not further 😇) :

Skywatcher 80ED scope @ 600mm. Captured with an asi178m / LRGB filters
AS!3 50% stacks (of 3000 captured) 1.5x drizzle (doh!)
Derotated and combined in WinJUPOS
Wavelet sharpening in PixInsight
Topaz Gigapixel resize 2x

Not bad, considering the FL & aperture (Ganymede to the left, Io on the right)

I'm slightly baffled by scale of Jupiter in the final image.

You say that you drizzled x1.5 and then scaled up x2. Final image should thus be x3 the size of capture - yet it seems to be only x2?

I do, and I did...but, it looks like I might have picked up the not so drizzled data in WinJUPOS 🙂 Sharp eyes, Vlaiv!

As an advert for a 3" refractor that takes some beating...I struggle to get anywhere near that quality with a 6"

Lovely image! Just shows what a 80mm can do.  

Io seems to have turned  quite a bit blue, or is it dispersion?

Great image @Yawning Angel, very impressive for 80mm!

Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's likely the derotation misaligning the channels for the moons. I'd usually desaturate them, but left it be in this one

You should probably recompose image - moons without derotation (just RGB align) and Jupiter with channels derotated.

Great image, I have so much to learn

Awesome work!

It is indeed a 'lovely' image however fwiw it's more an example of what excellent processing skills can do!

Beautiful image, much more beautiful than the one made with a Takahashi 100/900 that I saw today in an astronomy forum in Italian. Also interesting is the raw frame for comparison.

Lovely sharp image there, plenty of detail visible especially for the aperture.
