Jupiter 2024-08-05

Haven't been on here much, been busy with life and the weather has been kinda trash the past several weeks until just this past week.
Jupiter seems to be visible from my balcony now, so I've been learning more about imaging, stacking, and processing. Here is an image I put together this morning.

This was compiled with 5 short ~30-40 second videos, roughly ~1.7k frames after analyzing ~7,000, at varying ISO levels.

Equipment: Sky-Watcher Classic 250P, Canon Rebel T7, 3x Barlow Lens

Software: PIPP, AstroSurface

Weather: Clear

This is definitely my best processed image so far. Can't wait to get better shots of Jupiter, and apply techniques learned for a better Saturn image tonight.
Here is the same image with the moons labeled.

Here are last night's (2024-08-06) with the Great Red Spot visible.
The darker one was compiled from videos shot with a lower ISO, and was taken before the brighter, second one.

You can see the planet's rotation when comparing between the two.
