Got me second gas giant this morning

[Keithp]

Hello All,

Stayed up all night for this one, didn't need the chainsaw in the end;).

Registax'ed 640 x 480 avi, Fuji S5700 with 15mm ep and 2x barlow on Skywatcher 250px. Shame I couldn't get more detail but the atmosphere was a tad turbulent this morning. Might try again later in the week see if I can do better.

That's a superb image, well done.

Yes, very nice (and clear) image Keith.

Beautiful Keith, clear, lovely natural colour (what I see at the EP anyway) and very crisp lines. Would be very interested in your attempt at doing better

You stayed up all night...I opened my web browser and lazily looked at your image! As long as you keep posting pics my life of laziness can continue

Many thanks for all the comments guys and gals, makes it worthwhile posting. Especially when you're a newbie like moi.

Something I found a few nights ago when imaging, http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-image-processing-help-techniques/80877-improve-your-imaging-maybe.html bearing in mind I only have my fuji S5700 at the moment, Canon dslr on the way later in the year when funds allow:headbang:, and also I'm still working out what eps are good. So far, along with the ones that came with the scope I've had the meade qx20mm, read here http://stargazerslounge.com/equipment-help/79449-repair-junk.html which I have to admit was very good, I've also got a 15mm clone and a meade 5000 super plossl, which performs excellently, something they don't shout about.. and I don't know why is it has a fine tuner focuser built into the body of the eyepeice. I take the soft rubber eyesheild off it and it's parallel sides allow me to use my camera attachement. Using that next time as I anticpate giving me better results than the clone 15mm QX ep I used for this. My previous attempts at the other gas giant are here

Quick PS to my previous... would anyone recommend the type of filters I could use to bring out more contrasting colours. What I'm talking about is losing the overall sandy coloured image and maybe highlighting the red spot etc.
