Last Night On Jupiter

[bosun21]

I was out again last night for another go at the Jovian giant. I was put off by the twinkling stars but pushed ahead anyway. The seeing was mediocre but at least there were no clouds about to spoil things. I captured a mix of 90 second and 2 minute SER's. 150 Maksutov and 585MC 197 fps. I was going to try my new IR pass filter but my fingers were too numb to swap them over. What settings do i need to change for the IR pass filter?

I know that i'll have to increase the exposure length but what about any other settings?

Nice capture and processing. You have pulled some really nice details with  the Mak.

Regarding IR, similar exposure to colour. I have been aiming for 70% histogram but most of my recent ones are at 90-95%; it seems to pull more details with less noise. Looking forward to seeing some of your IR. I hope you have managed to thaw since last night.

Thanks. I'll definitely try the IR pass filter next time out. Thanks for your input Kostas.

Very good!

Very nice image. I use the same capture settings and duration for IR as I do for colour and process them almost identically (other than colour adjustments of course).

Thanks Geof. I take it that you capture in mono?

Well yes, IR is mono, but I'm using the very IR sensitive colour camera ASI462MC.

Good looking image, it was certainly cold on Thursday night!

Just tried Winjupos for the first time. I don't know whether i have overdone the processing though. Thoughts?

Well done, it doesn't look over processed, but what is causing that blue background, as it rather detracts from the image. Jupiter looks a bit yellow, but that may be the background playing with my eyes.

I have no idea where that came from. I'm still fumbling my way through all this new to me software. I will have a go at correcting it. It's distracting me as well.

Is this any better?

Yes, but still looks a bit yellow. Details look good so you haven't over sharpened.
