My first pic of Jupiter

[drummerp]

Hi everyone,

Now I know this image of Jupiter is quite poor but its my first proper image that looks anything remotely like a planet taken with my ickle 130pm on a cg5 mount. I captured only 250 frames with a phillips 840k, stacked it in registax and played arround with it in my very old version of photoshop.

It now gives me something to work off so I can improve over time but I'm very happy with it seeing I'm no imager.

Cheers

Neil

That's a fine first attempt Neil and much better than my first Jupiter

good 1st effort, banding clearly shown.

You're off to a good start Neil. May I recommend WxAstrocapture software, if you are not already using it.. IMO much better than the software that comes with the webcams, including bigger 'liveview' window and simple controls..

The whitebalance control in WxAstrocapture set to 'auto' helps to improve colour.

And it's a free download

A uv/ir-cut filter seems to aid focus too.

Experiment and enjoy!
