a little jupiter

I spent the last two nights wrestling with Jupiter at 24 degrees. On May 30 the seeing was quite good overhead - might be worth spending some time working with this data. This morning the seeing was not as good and the transparency very poor, so I set the 10" mak at its native focal ratio (f14.6). If you use your imagination you might see just a hint of the detail shown in the gorgeous images from Chris, Mike and Anthony.

L(R+G)RGB prepared from about 250 frames each R, G&B recorded with the DMK21BF04 camera.

best wishes,
Alan

Alan, excellent image especially considering the altitude. The DMK mono camera has a big advantage to record detail over the color toucam under these conditions for sure. I see you created the L channel from R&G, was that to maximize the number of available frames for R,G,B? Thanks for posting

Hi Alan:

Masterful shot, great; color, contrast, image brightness and smooth
resolution. You couldn't ask for more at 24 degrees (very impressive).

Thanks for posting, Dan
