My first Jupiter inc GRS

[Dave Smith]

This is my first proper attempt at Jupiter if you don't count attempts about 10 years ago with a small digicamera through the eyepiece.

Taken using a Phillips SPC900NC webcam through a x5 powermate and FL102S refractor. The final image was then reduced to 50% after being stacked in Registax5 and tweaked in Photoshop.

I was delighted to get the GRS and particularly wanted to see it without the band.

I think the second image is better than the first as Jupiter was higher at that stage.

The second one is my favourite. I am inspired to get some shots myself on the next clear sky.

The second is definitely better than the first. Smoother and with greater clarity in the banding. I think it is superb.

[Space Cowboy]

Very impressive for such a small scope!

Really nice result, compares to what I got with my C8 last time round (bad seeing)

always nice to get the GRS, and a WOS in the NEB. There may even be a hint of the small red spot I just managed to get last time. Just below, and slightly to the right of the GRS, there seems to be a small reddish patch, almost touching the GRS, but it is not conclusive.

Perhaps more aggressive wavelet processing could settle the matter (or it could completely mess things up;))

NICE

Those are just SO much better than my first Jupiter, which was just a slightly banded mis-shapen blob.

Great first attempt , theres quite a bit of fine detail in the second shot .
