Description

I decided to image last night - my weather apps said the skies would be perfecto.  Well they were anything but........    by 10:00 clouds were everywhere.  Nonetheless I shot through them and did have a run of 45 minutes with few cloud issues but the "seeing" was the worst I have ever seen.   Jupiter was noisy and bouncing around from side to side....I went outside to see if the wind was acting up.  Nada.   This is a stack of 10 files.  Each file is ~8,000 frames taken over a 3 minute period.   I centered and cropped in PIPP, stacked in Autostakkert, color balanced - stretched - applied wavelets in Registax - and aligned in Winjupos.

My planetary rig is really optics limited, I am used a Celestron Edge HD  8 inch SCT,  2.5 Tele Vue Powermate,  ACD by ZWO, on an Atlas Pro EQ/AZ mount.    My processing skills still need a lot of improvement but I am enjoying the break from deep space imaging.
