Wonderful shot Luca! 8)
Warren's notes are very useful, and can only make your processing/shot even better...

Keep it up, my friend, you are doing great!

First try on Jupiter

James, don't be discouraged, you should have seen my first! LOL! 8)

Now, first things first, what equipment (camera) & settings did you use?

Focus is CRITICAL, you must work on getting it right, as nothing else matters if your focus is not DEAD-ON. I go back & forth several times, between in-focus & out-focus, until I stop in the place I feel is the best, normally based on small features, and not the largest ones.


Clear skies, and keep it up! 8)
