Pages: 1 DesertRat Post Laureate Reged: 06/18/06 Loc: Valley of the Sun Jupiter & GRS & Io from Az - 22 Nov - good seeing!       #5534372 - 11/22/12 07:50 PM Attachment (57 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Only 10 more days to opposition! In a night of mostly above average seeing, after doing one RGB set and sitting there viewing the blue channel it suddenly became nice and stable. So I proceeded to shoot a BGR set capturing the Io transit along with the GRS during a window of really good seeing. This is a WinJupos composed RGB, with the moon and shadow aligned separately. When and if WinJupos handles moons it will be really handy, but if not its still a great way to deal with a fast rotating planet! This is a 1.25X image with south up. Captured with a Flea3 using FireCapture 2.1. Autostakkert collected stack with R6 wavelets. After WinJupos composed some minor alignment had to be performed. Hopefully I got the color right this time, but if it looks off on your monitor let me know. After looking at for a while it becomes difficult to know which way to go. Comments or questions welcome. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for looking! Glenn Post Extras:       sfugardi Carpal Tunnel Reged: 09/30/06 Loc: CT Re: Jupiter & GRS & Io from Az - 22 Nov - good seeing!

I'm looking at rare excellent seeing tonight.

The color on my monitor looks a bit over-saturated for my taste, but the level of detail is stunning. Looking forward to more!

On my laptop it looks a little blue and decidedly not saturated, but on my desktop it looks yellow and a bit too colorful! If the truth is in between I could split the difference.

It was a cool moon event + GRS to get the good seeing with. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Post Extras:       Kokatha man Post Laureate Reged: 09/13/09 Loc: "cooker-ta man" downunda...

Its kind of scary how different displays show widely varying results! I've improved the image by toning it down some with a better color balance. Glenn Post Extras:       Pages: 1
