Jupiter on the 15th

[Trevor N]

Taken with an imaging source camera through RGB filters. The scope was an ed120 at about f35. Quite pleased with the detail. Regards , Trevor

Excellent capture, the power of a good refractor quite obviouse.

Great detail!

Very nice result Trevor

[oldfruit]

Very nice, lots of fine detail.

[Trevor N]

Thanks for the nice comments. Looking again I think I oversharpened it a bit . I've had another go and played about more with layers. Think there is a slight improvement. At least I've learnt loads in processing !. Regards , Trevor

Very nice - I like the second picture much better.

[Clayton]

The repro is a ripper Trevor

[dc509]

very nice...

[Ags]

That looks very 'real' - it resembles the planet as seen in the eyepiece, but with wonderful detail and color.

which camera are you using? is it the dmk21 or dmk 31 or dmk41? thinking of getting one myself and would like to know what to expect

Hello and thanks for the comments. The camera is the dmk 21. It seens to work fine on the planets and if I need a wider field on the moon I use imerge to stitch shots together. The smaller file size helps my laptop as well. It struggles with the data transfer at times. Regards , Trevor

Funny because im touchy about overdoing it, and often i do. but i much prefer the first, Dont think it looks over cooked at all, Infact the second to me looks undercooked. Losing quite a bit of detail.often its more pleasing if a image is overdone to go a bit easier. But in this case as the first doesnt look overdone. all i can see is a loss of detail, with overly smoothed out features. everything was right about the first. that isnt with the second. Am i the only one to think this ? First image is a cracker for me with a 4" scope Trevor.

[Trevor N]

Take the point Neil. Thanks for looking. This is all relatively new to me. How about this one for a third attempt. Funny how opinions differ on these things. Old saying of one man's meat (or Jupiter) and all that. Regards , Trevor

great shots, how many seconds did you do for each colour filter ?

must be quick as Jupiter turns so fast.

[Trevor N]

I took about 800-900 frames on each filter. It's a manual job and invlolves re-focussing between shots. I guess an RGB run took about 2 minutes . Regards , Trevor
