Jupiter 4/3 Opposition Night with GRS

Well thanks Chris!
Your images are getting better everyday! This one is particularly nice and detailed and well processed.

Ciao
Luca

PS You may have already said a hundred times what your imaging set up is, but I would be interested in knowing, if you can spare the time.

Jupiter this morning

Very beatiful image Jim. I personally love the soft processing, the "eyepiece look" you gave this picture. No need to overprocess to bring out detail because it is all there. Thanks for sharing.


I don't know anything about the atik camera you use: do you collect avis and then process them as you would with webcam's avis? If so, how many images did you collect and how many did you eventually use for the image posted?

Ciao Jim

Very nice image Paul as many of Saturn you have posted this year. Would you be so kind to tell me which camera you use for your images.

Thanks and ciao

Very nice picture Greg! Since I had no images of mine to work on, I tried a nice new feature of Iris, the Akira Fujii effect.

I attached the result of a first experiment with this feature: what do you think?

Very nice shot Greg!

I have a few questions, if you'd be so kind to take the time. Did you process the image after stacking and, if yes, how? Did you add or average the individual shots?

Thanks Greg and ciao

First Saturn Image

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Hi Michael,
well that is a damn good 1st shot! The only thing is that the color balance may be a bit off: it seems there is a red shift of the whole image: the rings structure appears pinkish instead of bluish.

Please wait for other to confirm this impression since I am replying from a laptop so the LCD screen may be responsible for this.

Did you use an IR-cut filter? If not then the pinkish hue may be caused by that. The Toucam is designed to work with an IRcut filter and not using it may throw the whole color balance off.

Ciao and keep on posting.

Saturn: second image from first batch

Posted By Gianluca Valentini
Very nice shots. It is easier to get the right colors with the IR-cut.

Keep on posting.

PS the second image is noticeably better: I just moved from PSP (version 8.0) to Photoshop. I'm afraid I'll have to upgrade and install PSP once more.

Very nice images Greg, both this one and the Eta Carinae's one. It is even more appreciated because most of us can't see these objects sad

Ciao Greg
