Jupiter with IR/UV/CH4 (03/09/23)

[Kon]

After my OSC capture this morning I had a go with my IR/UV/CH4 filters. The IR is showing some really nice features and the methane shows the brighter poles. The UV and methane are a bit softer. Each filter has been derotated to the IR capture (3x120s); not derotated to the OSC so there is a small rotational difference. False colour UV (blue)/ IR (green) / CH4 (red). It looks quite psychedelic but I like the differences with the OSC. #1 false colour, #OSC for comparison, #3IR, #4 CH4 and #5 UV.

Very interesting comparison with lots of detail!

Really interesting work. I have to study the use of these kind of filters and the scientific meaning of the images they produce.

Thanks Stuart. Just a different way to see features but can't beat OSC data.

Thanks. I think the methane filter is interesting as it reveals where methane is found on it's atmosphere.

Wonderful images, Kon. You're putting those filters to work! I need to use my CH4 more often.
