Nice seeing? I'll say. Better than I've ever gotten for imaging, that's for sure. The best visual night I ever had was at about this level, in a 16" Starmaster Dob. A beautiful image.

I tried my hand at curing the blue limb (not uncommon) at left and applied a little additional sharpening just to see what it looked like. To reduce the blue limb, I used the lasso tool to select just the limb, feathered by 25 pixels, and then used the midpoint slider in Levels to move the green and blue channel midpoints further to the right. This was a partial cure; careful work with the original data would probably take this further. I in effect darkened the blue and green channels in this area relative to the red. I darkened the red as well; the limb was just plain brighter than it should be. The result is below. let me know what you think.

Angel, that's one beautiful shot of Jupiter!
It is also great to see a "resolved" moon right beside it...



Thanks for sharing!
