Jupiter May 11, 2004

Here is an image shot of Jupiter on the evening of May 11,2004. The conditions were not good, it was windy and the image was dancing all over the monitor screen. That may be why it looks "grainy", although I post processed it the same as the other 4 images I shot last night and they aren't grainy. I think it has to do with the gain setting which was pretty high for this image versus others. It is an 820 image stack.

Hi Paul,
With wind conditions like that you've got to be pleased. Lots of detail! Very nice!
