Jupiter and Io (C8 XLT + ADC) - 30 Sept 2023

[Maurizio83]

Hello, after nearly 20 days of stop due to adverse seeing conditions, I managed to capture Jupiter with Io. The GRS was not visible, but there are various interesting details on the NEB/SEB . Any advice on aspects to improve?

Excellent image. Again, seeing the gas giant like this is incredible on its own merit. 

But actually seeing one of the moons looking like a small planet!

This is very very nice, you may try a touch more of vibrance and/or saturation, if that suits your taste. Settings look good to me, but IMHO perhaps resizing to 150 percent is too much unless we are talking about excellent seeing, even then might be too much on Jupiter. I usually do not resize over 130 percent of the original, even on C8, seems to me that it is a diminishing return.

Yes, I need to delve a bit deeper into resizing. On one hand, I wouldn't want it to appear too small for those with 4K small monitors (like laptops) or high-resolution smartphones. On the other hand, for those viewing the image on a very large screen (for example, a 30-inch FullHD display), the image might end up looking too soft since very large... +25/30% could indeed be a better compromise.
