Originally I planned to take LRGB so the gain of RGB channel is push to the top, but later found just RBG is good enough and L channel do no good to my final image, so the final animation is quite noisy. I drive my telescope to a sea side and overall the seeing there is quite good and stable. Usually under clear nights, I can image for an hour or two continuously without dropping any videos and create the animation, e.g, I took >100 videos for 2.5hr or so that night, but only the last 30mins not useable as Jupiter is getting low. Everytime when I image the Jupiter, I will pack up the 200Lb monster and drive 45mins there, but the result really worth the effort. -------------------- My Blog - Star Fantasy Fixed domes : Lake Egret Observatory, Star Academy Mobile Equipment : APM 203 f7 APO refractor, Paramount ME, PWT Tripod Eyepieces : only TMB Supermonocentrics and Televue Ethos Post Extras:       astrovienna sage Reged: 12/04/06 Posts: 249 Loc: Vienna, VA Re: Jupiter and Ganymede animation - Hong Kong [Re: Savio Fong]       #3418389 - 10/29/09 02:13 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Savio, that is just fantastic! That may be the best Jupiter video I've seen. The detail on Ganymede is the best is outstanding. 17 images in 40 minutes - now that is efficiency! Edit: One suggestion. It looks like you have some dust on the sensor. Would sigma clipping in Registax resolve this? Although I would shudder at the idea of reprocessing 17 RGBs!

What is astonishing ( for me ) is the detail one can see on Ganymede. Likely because of good optics and big aperture. I hope to see more of your efforts! -------------------- ------------------ Mert 42º49"N 1º38"W 3" Polarex refractor 6" F12 SW Maksutov,CS2-S EQ6 + EQMOD SPC900NC/DFK21AU04.AS My web-page don't laugh, I should make it better!
