Re: Jupiter, April 21st UT - GRS & LRS

Hi Robert,

Very impressive image, among the better ones I have seen taken at such a low altitude, what frame rate did you manage to get.

Thanks,

Jupiter & Ganymede 05-18-06

Posted By Wesley Higgins
This is actually my first Jupiter image this opposition (hard to believe), the low altitude (38 degrees) as with all us North Hemisphere guys has affected the quality of the image sad , oval BA shows up fairly well though.

18" Reflector, Lumenera LUO75C camera, 30fps, 1000 frames.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Robert,

Excellent image, very impressive for your first RGB image and I like your processing. With a first RGB image like this one I predict you will have some awesome images in the future.

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

That is a very! detailed image and the processing looks to be spot on, with Jupiter so low in altitude I have been considering just doing mono images in IR for the rest of this apparition.

Thanks,

Hi Luca,

All you solar images look excellent to me but this one is certainly amazing, so much fine detail thanks for sharing.

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

Excellent image, the oval BA is closing fast on GRS.

Herschel 06-07-06

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

Herschel a walled plain imaged 06/07/06, this is a stack of only 64 frames from 1350,with the moon only 35 degrees in altitude the seeing morphed most of the frames to much to be used and I resorted to hand selecting the frames and only 64 were usable, I spent far to much time processing this image smile

18" Reflector, Infinity 2-1M camera

Thanks,

Jupiter in IR June 3rd 2006

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

With Jupiter at 35 degrees I decided to use my Infinity 2-1m camera with an IR pass filter instead of my LUO75C color Lumenera camera, next time I may try taking images with both cameras and combining the images .

Thanks,
