Jupiter 21 Feb 2015

Jupiter from Saturday night.
Imaging Source DBK21 camera with 2x Barlow on Celestron C11.  1000 frames at 30 frames/sec stacked in AutoStakkert then deconvolved.  Sky conditions were OK but not good.

Excellent image Mark.

Here are the stages of processing  - prepared for a talk I'm giving to Ashford Astro Soc on Friday.



Planetary processing is magic, isn't it!

[Kenny]

Great image. And like the stages comparison.

[Carole]

Mark, how do you do deconvolution, is it in Iris?  Is smart sharpen the closest to this in Photoshop?

[Fay]

very nice Jupiter Mark

[Mike]

Superb image Mark.

[RobertM]

Impressive and well processed as usual

[Mike]

It is amazing how much detail is hidden in the blurry stuff.

[JohnP]

Nice Mark - can't wait to see an image on a night of good sky conditions...

[The Thing]

That's rather superb Mark. Very subtle detail all over. I think if you now ran it though WinJUPOS de-rotate you would reveal even more.

As asked below - what software did you use to deconvolve the image? I've always just used Registax Wavelets but is very easy to overdo it.

[MarkS]

The deconvolution was done by some software I wrote myself - an interactive filter in the wave domain (i.e. in Fourier Transform space).  But there was very little difference between that and using Registax wavelets.
