Here's GRS after passing Jupiter's (and my) meridian

1312 stacked frames at 30 FPS (~43 seconds), 99% of original size (knocking it down 1% improved it), Canon Powershot SX100 at a TMB 7mm EP, Criterion RV-8, Registax 5, Roxio PhotoSuite 5. Shot in Central FL. No PC/laptop present to record.

Hi Jason,

Excellent image, very nice smooth processing although IMO it could use some more contrast.
Judging by this image the death of digital cameras in imaging Jupiter may be greatly exaggerated smile

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

A great image - well captured and processed. Personally, I like a little more contrast too. I tweaked your image to bring out a little more detail. I used curves, readjusted the brightness and applied a slight richardson-lucy sharpening to define some of the edges a little better.
