Description

Jupiter under very good seeing from the night of April 17. It was nice to finally get the Great Red Spot. The weather changed shortly after this, and all subsequent frames are quite poor in comparison.

This was with a C14 @ ~F/20 with a Flea3 GE mono camera. I'm using the Baader FFC to increase the magnification by about 1.8x. I have an old SBIG CFW that I use, with a Baader IR-pass filter for red and Custom Scientific green and blue filters. I do image capture with my own software and process with AutoStakkert, Registax 6, and Photoshop. In this image, IR is used as luminance with a weight of 50% to improve the detail but it makes the reds less deep than they should be.
