Hi all,
At last I have found enough time to prepare some more Jupiter images taken from Barbados. Work has been so busy recently I have not found the energy to process them as quickly as I hoped.
I have posted 3 more nights of images: 5/6th, 6/7th and 7/8th September 2009; a total of 26 more images (there are over 40 images available now). There is one web-page per day; the links to these pages are at the end of this main page:
Main Barbados Page
Individual page links are:
5th/6th:
http://www.astro-sharp.com/jupiter2009barbados4.asp
6th/7th:
http://www.astro-sharp.com/jupiter2009barbados5.asp
7th/8th:
http://www.astro-sharp.com/jupiter2009barbados6.asp
Also, Dave Tyler reprocessed one of my images in a 'softer' style, the question is should I reprocess all of mine to this style? I think I may have gone too 'harsh'. Here is Dave's version:

Best Regards

Hi Ian,
Truly excellent shots...!
If I were you, I would indeed give it a try with a couple of Sept.8, beginning of session and around 3 UT. They look like the sharpest you have.
Then you can make up your mind.
Could you pls post somewhere a 10-20 sec movie of the actual source to have a glimpse of the Barbados skies..?!
You decide the channel and the moment. BW of course... I mean, exactly what the scope saw.
Thank you so much and again congratulations!
Max

Hi Max,
I guess you missed this thread a while back:
http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Imaging&Number=3351009&Forum=f57&Words=&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Main=3348436&Search=true&where=bodysub&Name=47928&daterange=1&newerval=10&newertype=w&olderval=&oldertype=&bodyprev=#Post3351009
It contains a link to a 500 frame green AVI you can download and play with.
Cheers
Ian.

Hi Ian,
Absolutely astonishing pictures. Inspiring and helped me identifying what I observed visually in my Q7 under very good conditions in that period.
Clear skies,
Erik

Hi Ian,
You are quite right: I had missed that... 
That is a very interesting video !
You guys got really lucky with seeing over there.
Looking forward to the Red channel, which is probably even better than that !
Thanks,
Max

Jaw dropping stuff!  
As for the processing, if one's trying to easily identify and monitor smaller scale features, I think your own processing is fine --- I certainly don't think it's overdone. For aesthetics, Dave's processing has than elusive 'natural' appearance, but for my eye perhaps just a bit too soft. Perhaps you should try something in between if you really want to reprocess?

Hi Ian,
These are certainly great images, all of them!
Wish I could get half as good as your images,
these are really
On processing, could you maybe share an unprocessed
stacked image?
Could be fun to see what others can come up with,
if they also explain what they did, then it would
be learnful for everybody IMHO.
Thanks for sharing such great images!

Outstanding images 
I like your images better. As long as not "grainy" and you have signal, I can't see why anybody would want to mush it up.
Great work!

Thanks for your comments. Dave's reasoning behind his version was to more closely resemble the beautiful images from our Aussie collegues such as Messers Wesley and Haese.
