Jupiter 6th November

[rawhead]

Finally got my 8'' Tal 200K pointing at Jupiter

Tal X3 barlow @ F30

Seeing was very wobbly jelly.

800 from 1100 frames...

Not bad despite the weather conditions.

What channel did you record ? Red ?

Very nice, but ...

... did you try stacking less frames? When seeing is poor I usually find stacking 15-20% of the frames shot gives the best results!

Thanks.

Just a UV filter.

Will give it a try...

Choose the reference frame carefully. Registax will limit frames closest to the reference frame, that's the only way it knows which are the 'best' frames.

There's an advanced technique in Regsitax that allows you to create a reference frame (from a small amount of frames and some gentle wavelets) and then use that over all the frames to get a better stack sample.

I am guilty of using the first frame as a reference. Must remember to scroll forward a bit...

I do create a reference frame after I limit the stack size though. Usually 50 frames. Then apply mild wavelelets etc.
