latest jupiter image

Hi Folks

Latest jupiter image
cg11 f/22 TUC Pro RAW mode and Baader UV/IR filter
324 bmbps out of 614
some nice ovals and detail on the GRS
seeing was only about 3/10 (Pickering) as you can see ~50% of bmps lost to bad seeing.

Still a damn fine image Dave, keep it up!

To get an image at all given the weather is great!

It is a bit embarassing posting my first attempt at imaging Jupiter on the same page as Dave G's image above. But we all have to start some where. I took alot of 15 second AVI's (at 10 fps, 1/33 exposure with about 25% gain) that night. I tried both 320 px wide and full resolution of 640 px. The 640 px width gives a much more enlarged image but none of them showed the detail that the smaller resolution ones did.

I also tried stacking several AVIs together but again little improvement. However I was totally amazed by the detail that Registax 3 could 'see'. Visually the Great red spot was just noticable! Seeing was not great but better than it was earlier in the month.

Anyway here is the image:-



I also got a nice image of the craters Theophilus and Cyrillius. To preserve Bart's bandwidth (and to send trafic to the clubsite ) see Kerry Astronomy Club' Gallery
