Jupiter 30th June Pembrokeshire

[Space Cowboy]

Currently holidaying in sunny Saundersfoot with my lady and of course my skymax 127. Took some avis between 3,50am and 4,30am with Astrocapture and Craterlet. Craterlet is definetley producing superior images. Below is the best of the bunch though not as good as my first Jupiter session last week. Images were taken of Jupiter over the sea.....maybe too much moisture in atmosphere for good visibility?

Amazing - well done mate!!!!

Wow, you dug a nice one out there. Excellent.

Nice holiday venue too..

I was stationed in Pembroke Dock for a couple of years. I loved Pembrokeshire. Such a beautiful coastline.

Think thats your tightest one yet, focus looks good and it looks to me like conditions were a little misty, which would explain the slightly dull ( levels ) but sharp appearance. Those conditions often pull out the most detail, but you pay for it with signal strength.You could certainly try upping the levels on image analyzer, im sure it would benefit. Nice holiday memto that one

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks for your comments guys!

Neil when you mention upping levels on image analyzer are you talking about registax?

[TheThing]

Viewing/imaging over water is generally considered best - less thermal disturbance. Not a coincidence that SPM lives by the sea!

Hi Stuart No, its a free program called image analyzer, theres a thing on there you can adjust the luminence with, if you download and cant suss it out ill explain, though registax would also adjust things.

Coming along nicely Stuart

Delightful result, agree with Neil about levels, good banding detail.

Cheers John!

Increased saturation in image analyzer. Richer colours in the new image.

Not sure if this is an improvement or not. Still think the pic taken June 22nd was superior.

I was posted in Pembs near St. David's in fact. The skies out that were were superb (not as good as rural Afghanistan though! )

Nice image btw

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks again guys! I was lucky that the only clear view from our holiday apartment overlooked the south eastern sky.

Back on the Cheshire plane now.
