Hi all,

a holiday trip, therefore one week no computer at hand, I could process a few data today.
Instrument: 8-in Newton.
Jupiter 19° above horizon.


An RGB image.





And moons from left to right: Ganymede, Callisto, Europa and Io.




Regards
Torsten

Excellent resolution and colour for such a low altitude. Great work Torsten.

Hi Torsten!
I agree, GREAT Images for your latitude!!
I think your RRGB version shows sligthly more contrast and sharpness than the RGB...
Bests,

David

That´s right. The reason is, that the red channel image showed significantly more detail than the RGB. So, I used it as luminance, and the RGB gave the colour information. In fact, the image is an LRGB with L = 100%R.

Torsten
