90min of Jupiter and GRS from 11/11

[Yawning Angel]

Somewhat choppy seeing on the evening of 11/11 with quite wet air - par for the course in Lancashire! (insert the obligatory moan about the weather)

Captured with Firecapture, 180sec per stack, 30 stacks. 5ms @ 200fps, 800x600 ROI. Batch sharpened and colour balanced in PixInsight then cleaned up the background and made the GIF in PS

Thank you! I'm now restacking it all with AS!4 beta as a test...because clouds 🙂

I'd heard that there was a new version coming, so I'll be interrsted to know what you think about it.

Thus far, it's noticeably faster on on newer hardware, and there seems to be a bug with stack normalisation. Otherwise, it's AS!3, give or take

Thanks for the feedback Alex, so what happens with normalisation?

If it's checked, the image comes out black 😞

So it normalises to black 🤯. Is that for all %s? I won't be upgrading yet then....

Apparently, it just the first stack and then it behaves - I've not tested that, I just unticked it

So, I restacked with AS!4 then assembled it as per my usual method, as close to the same workflow as I could (not rigorously scientific!) :

Old v New

Humm...even without the normalisation, I'm happy to use it I think* 🙂 

*Your Mileage May Vary

[geoflewis]

Did you drizzle, or resize it, as the ‘new’ version looks larger.

[Yawning Angel]

That odd, but no. Same 100% for both. Slightly different crop

Ah, if it’s a mobile phone, I think it’s scaling one for screen width?

Yes, I’m viewing on my iPhone. Currently traveling, so don’t have a large screen.

EDIT: Just looked on iPad and see that they the same - as you say the iPhone scaled them to screen size.
