Jupiter (C8 XLT + ADC) - 10 Oct 2023

[Maurizio83]

New capture of the "poor" side of Jupiter. Over the last 10 days, the seeing hasn't been good (and many evenings it has been cloudy)… But two days ago, I had a few hours of good seeing. Compared to my previous captures, the sky was occasionally a bit hazy (e.g., for 30 sec during the two minutes capture). So, there is a bit more noise than usual since I kept the standard capture parameters (configuration for clear skies). Furthermore, for the first time this year, I had to start dealing with dew on the C8 corrector, as temperatures are now dropping.

However, the level of detail seems ok, partly thanks to Jupiter's increasing size. It's interesting to see how the visible details change from one capture to another of the same area.

Very nice image Maurizio. You have nice details and I think you have managed the noise very well.

I see that white feature on your image as your comment on my post. Not sure what it might be. Interesting to see how it develops. See there is no 'poor' side of Jupiter 😉.

Yes something quite noticeable in many images taken by others as well. For instance, you can see the last image at the bottom of the captures from the 9th Oct on the ALPO-Japan website:  https://alpo-j.sakura.ne.jp/kk23/j231009z.htm
