Hi,

This is second light for the new Lumenera LUO75C camera and the seeing was a little better this time, I really think this camera is capable of providing some exceptional
images if the seeing will just get a little better.

18" Starmaster Newt.,LUO75C camera, 60FPS, stack of 1245 frames from 6300.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

A little fuzzy to me, even though, still looks like you picked up some serious detail in the cloud bands. Looks like the new camera is a winner, can't wait till you have better seeing .... not as if the Bar isn’t high enough already for us aperture, camera, patience .... SKILL challenged folks .... wink

Wes,

I am inspired by your work and this image indeed raises the bar for me. There is a wealth of subtle detail in the cloud bands and the GRS that aren't seen here very often. I have a difficult time controlling the central brightness of the globe without losing limb detail - one of the many challenges image processing with Jupiter. Well done! I'm already anticipating your Mars images this fall.

Hi Wes,

absolutely stunning! Your new Lumenera with your Starmaster will set new standards if this image hasn't been captured under perfect skies 8O grin

What a natural color balance and so many subtle details in the clouds. Bravo!

Best regards,
Oliver
