Jupiter (with a good scope)

[Kenny]

Another attempt at Jupiter yesterday evening, through high altitude hazy cloud, this time testing the newly inherited OAS 8" Meade LX90 with my Celestron NexImage camera through x2 Barlow. 25 x 60 second video at 20fps with 2 minute interval captured with SharpCap2. Video stacked in AutoStakkert2 with only 30% frames (~75% quality). Sharpened with wavelets in Registax 6. Animated in PIPP.

Single frame.



Animation.


(guess what kind of mount the scope is on)

looks excellent - you going to give Saturn a try...

[Ivor]

Well done Kenny, you've inspired me to get my scope out tonight.

[RobertM]

That's quite impressive Kenny, I must give Jupiter a go myself.

[Carole]

Looking good Kenny.

Thanks all. The scope makes a huge (!) difference. I'm lucky that I've had all those practice runs with my own scope following your advice and guidance on processing over the past few months. Made this much easier to capture and process.

Wow, that is amazing. And so clear
