Proper go at Jupiter.

[+Graham]

After realising my error on my last attempt at the old girl I decided to have another go.

First thing to do this time was to remove the red filter I had put on the camera to reduce the light whilst doing solar 

 

5000 frames using the Life cam and the 10 inch Meade.

Captured in Sharpcap at 1270 x 780 HD resolution then cropped back to size.

Stacked in Registax 

Had to reduce the size and quality in paint to post. 

 

Still got to process the other 20,000 frames which I will do as soon as I get a spare couple of hours.

Nice capture Graham. 

 

I've had the refractor out this evening......and your image was similar to what i was seeing in the eyepieces.

The seeing was not too bad, with plenty of detail there. The 4 moons were all to one side in a neat line.

 

I've never seen the GRS looking so red as it is at present.

Also the NEB is much darker than the SEB. I could see even darker areas in it, and at one point thought there was a shadow transit in progress. I checked though, and there wasn't.

Jupiter rarely disappoints does it ? Always something interesting going on....

Thanks. 

You are right about the great red spot. 

It is shining like a beacon at the moment.
