Jupiter & Io, early morning...

Posted By Stephen Fugardi

Ivan, great shot! There is a ton of detail. You can always tell immediately when you start imaging under excellent seeing. I like the way you shoehorned in Io in the corner, which is never easy to keep both objects in view during the avi collection. Thanks for posting it

Paul, awesome image! Details even seem visible on the moon. Well processed. I agree with Rolando, it may be your best ever Jupiter. Congradulations on the excellent seeing. Great work

Afocal Jupiters from Point-n-shoots reprocessed

Posted By Stephen Fugardi

Jason, excellent afocal Jupiter! Seems like you're leading the way on afocal imaging. Normally, I shoot 1min of each R,G,B channel. Have you tried collecting more data than just 10sec? You may be able to pull even more detail. Great work!

Stefan, excellent images! Seeing must be have very good to be able to image at f25. Do you stack with avistack then stitch together with Registax? Nice work

Paul, incredible animation of the occulation! Did you use a filter and what was your exposure time? What was the total duration of this footage? That is amazing work, thanks for posting it.

Alan, gorgeous shot! I went back and tried your Red layer Lum overlay method and it really helps bring out the details with reduced noise. Thanks for the tip and for the post!
