Description

A try at Jupiter that has been in the works for a while.  I have been trying to figure out how to do better planetary images and during this monsoon season, I really knuckled down to work on this.

I made a vow to myself not to upload another horrible Jupiter, lol.  So although this is not a great Jupiter, it is far better than what I have posted so far.

I have to thank Niall McNeill and Darren (DMach) for their support and encouragement.  Such a generous community we have.

I shot this at transit under very nice seeing conditions at an altitude of 41° here in Arizona.  On this one I did 6 runs of 2000 frames, stacked best 40% in Autostakkert, wavelets in Registax, derotate in WinJupos and then fine tuned (or ruined it) in Pixinsight.

I learned a lot from this project and actually have more data to process from this evening's work.  The big thing on this one is that my runs were too long at the 2000 frames that I am sure resulted in some smearing.

Anyhow, I hope you like this one, Clear Skies and good health!
