Jupiter 10/16/04

Hi,

The seeing was good but I was imaging through a thin layer of high clouds with poor transparency and had to raise the gain up to about 75% so the image is noisier than I like .
I was just glad to finally get some semi clear skies

14.5 Starmaster @F/30 , Toucam Pro, 654 frames out of 1450,


Thanks,

Beautiful, Wes!

Do me a favor and send some of that good seeing this way! :-)

Beautiful job Wes. Lots of really nice detail and color. Great work!

Still a best of the best image Wes! The noise is really not that bad and the subtleties show through really well. The best I've seen this year. I know from experience it's extremely hard to get such subtle detail and good contrast in the same image. Usually one of the two takes precedence. Of course that kick-ass scope of yours has nothing to do with it . WTG!

Thanks for posting.

Excellent image Wes.

Hi Wes,

Absolutely great image of Jupiter. Thanks for sharing it.
It shows the a bit noise on my laptop's screen, but it's very smooth on my CRT monitor.

Wes, I really like your image.

I think I took mine within a couple of hours of yours.
