Jupiter 4/12 A Perfect Night!

I just want to echo what everyone elso is saying! Your best ever! I love the processing, are you using a different method? It seems much more natural looking! The detail on Ganymede and CAllisto is as amazing as the detail on Jupiter itself!

Ed, I think you should be quite happy with this one! You seem to have gotten the camera settings just right! Nice smooth processing too! Great to have lots of frames to choose from eh?

Ganymede by Jove

Posted By Mike Wirths
Holy crap Alan, you really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this one!! Awesome detail! 8O Great to see you finally got some decent seeing! Gives me hope here one degree futhur north! So you saved time in the video capture by later making a B channel out of the R & G? IR probably helped in the sharpness of the image correct?

congrats on a superb job!

Very well captured and processed Ed! This is one crater that is very cool to see both in deep shadow like your image and also in high sun.

Hey Wes, welcome back wink

A magnificent image too! I love the rille detail, and the delicate craterlet/ray detail in the upper right, must be part of Bullialdus's ray structure!
Question though -how did you manage 25fps with a ROI frame this large? best I can manage with 16bit mode on is about 14-18 fps. Or were you just in 8 bit mode? One of these nights I'll get seeing good enough for imaging at 9000mm..

can't wait to see the other images!
