B&W Jup from the other night

[Mamsoth]

This is the result from the only avi that I was able to retrieve from a nightmarish evening on the 31/01/11. I got some great avi's of Jupiter as well as Io, Ganymede and Europa, only to find out I'd used rgb24 instead of yuv420 . About 30 150 second avi's which I can't access (not to mention a bunch of m42 captures to). D'OH!!!

So this was the result I got from a 20 second avi that by sheer chance I recorded with yuv420, no moons and very few frames stacked (due to short avi). Focus certainly could have been better but as I say this was the only useable avi from the whole evening.

While it's not exactly spell binding there is some discernible detail and the Atik 2-hs is certainly a major step up from the fusion webcam I had been using. The camera is definately capable of better, next time out I feel sure I'll get a better result.

I can't wait to get out and get some more frames to stack.

P.s Cheers freddie, I worked it out, needed to be jpg not bmp

To post the pic, just attach it into the text box. Initially it will just show as some numbers but when you post, it will show as the picture. You can preview before posting if you want to check it has inserted correctly.

That piccy has a lot of detail in it,did you use a barlow? if not you could easly use a 2x barlow and zoom in nicely with lots of fine detail..

I did, I used a 2.5x revelation taking me up to f20.75 , what I really want is a x5 but I am too poor so that will have to wait
