Jupiter 21-Feb-2004

Hi All,

I took this image of Jupiter last week. Seeing conditions were fair-good. Celestron 11, 3X Televue, ToUcam 740. Captured in K3CCDTools using 10 fps, 1/25 sec, 640x480, 35% gain, 50% brightness, 0% gamma and 70% saturation. Aligned and stacked 2662 images in Registax 2, applied wavelets 3-6 and other adjustments. Great to see the Jupiter season in full-swing--lots of nice photos out there

Nice image (your Saturn as well), much more detail than I've been able to capture in my C8.

Hope you don't mind, but I couldn't resist working on a nice image for a change. I pushed the wavelets a little in Registax and adjusted the colors along with a slight unsharp mask in PSP. Also used my favorite, Salt and pepper filter in PSP to de-noise all my tinkering. You'd have to see my images to understand ..... they're, well, a little grainy to say the least. Thanks for sharing
