Jupiter from December 28 2006

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Anthony, very good image at that altitude. Jupiter is barely clearing the hills from my backyard in the AM. I noticed that you are using the PGR Dragonfly Express camera. Does it have advantages over the DMK? (frame rate, CCD chip sensitivity, etc). I am still a couple generations behind using the Toucam in non-raw mode, but will go raw next time out. Thanks for posting and I also look forward to seeing your upcoming images.

Regards,
Steve

Darrell, fortuneately for us Wes shares his incredible images frequently in this forum. That lunar shot seems as if it was taken from space looking down at the surface. It is amazing!

Saturn f25, 1/17/07

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Everytime I try to sharpen the Saturn image, by adjusting the Registax sliders it improves slightly then quickly distorts, then I move another and it happens again. I've tried both default & gaussian and had the same problem. Attached below is a 100frame stack with 4 point alignment, the RGB shift done and gamma set to 0.9. Which sliders are best for processing? Is 100 frames too low? Most images posted here seem to be sharp but not distorted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Steve

Saturn Seeliger Effect(?) 2007/2/8

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Richard, Thanks for braving the elements to take that Saturn! Excellent cloud band details. With below average seeing here tonight at 10degF with 10mph winds, I've decided stay in and sit by a warm fire instead...

Steve
