Jupiter from Murrumbateman, 7th August

Posted By Stephen Fugardi

Anthony, another incredible high res image! It looks 3D as you first look straight on and then through Jupiter's fuzzy atmosphere at the edges. What mirror temp delta vs ambient did you measure when taking this shot? Thanks for posting it.

Moon

Posted By Stephen Fugardi

Joe, nice shot. That Hutech modded 400D with 10meg pixels should take awesome deep sky images. I sharpened your moon and desaturated the color, hope you don't mind. Looking forward to your future 400D images.

Hoping to find some surface details, I reprocessed the best 200/1700 frames at a 3x resample. The result, however, is just a larger green globe sad
