Jupiter

Another try with Jupiter. This time I did 14 runs of 50s. I tried a number of different processing schemes including culling the images down to the best 15% of the best looking 8 sequential runs, and increasing percentage of frames and different ways of sorting the best runs.

It seems to me that on this night, with this seeing, mediocre transparency, and at this particular altitude of about 43%, what worked best was using all 14 runs and the best 40% of each run. So this image represents the roughly the best 14,240 of 35,600.

I tried to keep the saturation and sharpening to the minimum and I think perhaps this image is a bit better than my previous try last week. I think this is important becasue when I look a the best Jupiter images here on Astrobin, I see smooth and subtle transition of color and detail in the banding. hopefully I'm getting a little closer.

I am considering moving to a 2.5x Powermate for the next try, I think our seeing here in Arizona will support this and perhaps the extra FL will result in a little more detail? Who knows for sure but it will be fun to try nevertheless.

I hope you like this latest effort and of course, comments and criticism welcome! CS and good health!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
