Jupiter tonight

Hi
Just posting an image of Jupiter taken a few hours ago, it may not be of a very high standard compared to the images posted here, but my youngest son and I really like as it shows the storm trail following the great red spot. It was 1800 frames of which 1448 stacked, wavelets in RegiStax and sharpened with photoshop. We would welcome any comments.
Thanks you.

Aidan,

That's a great image of Jupiter.
It looks a bit noisy, it might be worth running it through one of the noise filters in Photoshop before sharpening to reduce the noise.

Hi Aiden and Aidan jnr,

Hope you are keeping well,

(NOW HERE I GO)

What way are you processing your image in registax take me through step by step also what type of webcam are you using.your image also has whats called Jpeg compression from photoshop what is your settings when you save the image for the web.Sorry for all the questions but in order to give you the best advice I need to know what steps your taking.

Hi Carl.
Ready, ok here we go, firstly I use the Neximage camera, I load Registax version 6, I click on colour and LRGB, intensity selection at 3/3 area for Jupiter and have a limit setup of best frames at 80%. Then I select my avi, and select the best frame using the slider at the bottom.
I set align points and align. Using the Registrationgraph I use the slider to pick the highest quality and click on limit.
Then in stackgraph panel I pick the highest percentage Dif.cutoff and I stack. After stacking I save the image and move onto wavelets. I click view zoomed, RGB align and I click estimate. I then click Denoise/Deringing and bring up denoising to 502 and deringing to 152.
Then starting on wavelet 5 instead on 1, just like doing it that way, I move the slider to the right until the image becomes noisy, then I click on denoise on wavetlet until noise diminishes.
I repeat this process for wavelets 4,3,2 and 1, then click on linked wavelet.
I use denoise to minimise noise, then I click on Linegraph panel and centre between green and red. After each step I click on Do all as I don`t like using automatic, I then save the image as JPEG 8 bit RGB.
I then take the image to Photoshop elements, I click on enhance, Hue/Saturation, brightness, contrast and variations.
I then select filter Despeckle noise then filter Unsharp Mask. I save as JPEG image options Quality 8/High, Format Options/ Baseline (standard) and end up with the image as below. Sorry for going on, but we would really like to improve our imaging. Below image captured with WXastrocapture, 3 mins, 10 fps at f20 on the 15/12/2012, through cpc800, 1800 frames of which 1415 stacked in Registax
Thanks very much.

Here is a typical run, further processing was done on these images. First image after stacking, second after wavelets, no linked wavelets, and last image after Photoshop.







Thanks for your time, we really appriciate it.

Not a bad shot at all Aidan, I'm itching to get out and see the white turbulent storm next to the GRS.
