Jupiter Oct 29th - improving processing routine


I am trying out some processing routines so I can improve my planetary images.
The leftmost image was processed in Autostakkert, FitsWork and CS4 (RGB 500 frs per channel). The middle one was processed in Registax V6 (wavelets) and CS4 (RGB 1200 frames per channel) and the one on the right was also processed in Registax V6, but this time I used the de-rotate routine. Final image was combined in WinJupos 9.1.16 and CS4 (R-RGB 1200 frames per channel).

Jupiter, GRS & Io - 201110292344UT



Jupiter on the evening of Oct. 29th.
Seeing was very good but temperature was dropping steadily which prevented mirror cooling to match seeing.
I also had to struggle against corrector condensation and at some time through the evening, I had to work around it with my wife's hairdryer...
By the time I had it done, seeing got worse. Damn it!

Seeing has degraded over the past few days which makes it clearly more difficult to get sharp images. This one had to be overprocessed...

Clouds are rolling in and unfortunately, it looks like winter has finally arrived. Hopefully will get some cristal crispy clear nights and good seeing.

On the same evening seeing can trick you for sure... after just 5 minutes, seeing was much better than on the previous RGB sequence run (20111010-23h45mUT).
