catman161 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 So I set up the scope with a view to letting it cool a little longer than it had been already and looked at Jupiter Guide app on my iphone and saw that the GRS was just finishing transiting across the disc so I whacked the 2x TV powermate and ASI120MC on and messed about with focus quickly and fired off a total of 5 avis. Below is the best image,. There are two of the same image as I processed them a little differently each time. The first one is done totally in registax and the second one I ran through Unsharp mask in PS CS2. The avi was 3000 frames but put through pipp with quality detector on and best 2000 frames kept. I then ran it through registax which decided to only stack 680ish frames. The seeing was a little better at times but still not great I dont think. The jetsream is above us still so I don't think that helped at all. I will process the rest of the avis and se what I've got to work with tomorrow and add them to this thread.

+Ibbo Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nice one Felix They are getting better with each run I think the seeing is better tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Cheers Steve. Yeah I agree about the seeing, better than it has been but still not great I dont think. I am looking forward to the 28th if the forecast remains clear as 7timer predicts good conditions that night. I will be in cheltenham with family ( they moved from the briliant skies of devon ) but I will be taking my kit as I dont wanna miss out!

catman161 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I was bored so did a re-process last night. It was quite a major re-process in that I joined together all 5 avis that I shot one after the other on the night. I joined them using virtual dub. Then I took the joined together avi whic was 15,000 frames and put it through PIPP and set the option to assess and sort the frames in order of quality. I also clicked an option to duplicate the best quality frames. I limited the process to the best 10,000 frames (not including the duplicates). Once it had finished it gave me an avi of 17,500 frames. I then used AS!2 for the first time and this sorted the best 13,125 frames and stacked them. I then took the resulting tiff file and put it into registax 5.1 and messed with the wavelets to give the below image. Am not sure about it myself, I like the colours but the blurring I think may be due to rotation. I may go back and pt through winjupos at some point to see if I can de-rotate it at all. I was just experimenting with new software really as I was bored! I very muc like AS!2 thoug and will probably use it for stacking from now on.

catman161 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I really am trying to avoid doing some decorating whilst my Christmas Hols come to an end so have re-porcessed just 3000 frames from the 22nd I have stacked 2475 frames of the 3000 using registax 5.1 and done wavelets in there too and then a tiny smidge of unsharp mask in PS CS2. It is certainly better than the 12,000 frame effort above! Well clearer anyway. 22.12.2013 2475 of 3000 withUS by Gattouomo161, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
