Description

My 2nd session with my new ASI462 camera on the C14. The seeing was better than for it's 1st light, but still very in/out, with focus changing minute by minute, making it difficult to determine best focus. Io and it's shadow were in transit, so I opted for a series of 2 minute SER videos, which I de-rotated in WinJupos before grading and stacking the best 20% in AS3!, with further derotation and stacking of the output TIFFs in WinJupos. Sharpening was done using wavelets in Registax6. The stacked image had a large blur where Io and it's shadow were in transit, so I pasted them back into the stacked and sharpened image from a single SER that represented the correct timestamp of the de-rotated image. Final colour saturation and levels adjustments were applied in Affinity Photo.

Io itself is somewhat lost due to poor contrast aginst Jupiter's bright cloud surface.
