20180627 Jupiter

Imaging time again!  Same setting as yesterday:


1441 UT.


Tuesday, June 26, 2018

20180626 Jupiter


1438 (UT), Ranger with 5x barlows, 1.5x Drizzle in AutoStakkert.

RGB aligned by Registax and color balance too.

Poor seeing, exposure reduced by pushing gain, giving higher frame rate.

20180611 Sun (closing this season)


I waited until very late 0741 UT or 1541 local time, but the sunshine didn't come fully inside my home.  So, most of the aperture was blocked, very poor resolution with uneven illumination.

Closing this season, therefore.

20180610 Jupiter

Processed by AutoStakkert 3 with Drizzle 1.5x, Ranger with 5x Powermate, ASI 120mc


1522 (UT).

I pulled out the camera and looked through a 4mm eyepiece, terrible high frequency seeing. 

70mm aperture is not bad in this case.

20180605 Jupiter

It has been a long time since I took image of Jupiter.

First two taken at 1550 (UT) with a ASI 120mm, first one processed by AutoStakkert 2 and the second one with AutoStakkert 3 with Drizzle 1.5x... I also carefully processed it further to enhance the contrast.



Next one taken at 1553 (UT) with a ASI 120mm, processed by AutoStakkert 3 with Drizzle 1.5x... I also carefully processed it further to enhance the contrast.


Last two taken at 1555 (UT) with a ASI 120mm, first one processed by AutoStakkert 2 and the second one with AutoStakkert 3 with Drizzle 1.5x... I also carefully processed it further to enhance the contrast.




I believe AutoStakkert 3 is better and I will use it afterward.
