All my Jupiters from 2023

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

I have posted a couple of my Jupiter captures in the last couple of months. But having set up my scope in my backyard semi-permanently this year I found it a ton easier, practically and mentally, to just uncover it and get it ready for imaging at every clear opportunity vs setting up and tearing down after every session. So over the past few months I've captured several images of Jupiter through varying types of seeing and weather conditions. I would say that for every night that I came out with a passable image there was another night that was a total bust. This is a smorgasbord of those images that I was able to come up with this Jupiter season, some are better than others :-)

All images were captured with my C14, 1.5x - 2.0x barlow, Perro Astro MKIII, and my ASI462MC or ASI585MC. The gain, frame rate, and capture color balance were adjusted to the current seeing conditions at the time so they are all different. However, I used the following capture and processing routine for all of the images:

Capture:
Uncover the scope and turn cooling fans on at sunset
Focus, collimate, refocus
Capture as many 60sec videos from 45° to the Meridian.
Check focus and ADC every 20 minutes
Check collimation every hour or so

Processing:
AS4! best 30-60% depending on quality
1.5X drizzle
Registax wavelets and RGB Balance
WinJupos derotate 10-20 images depending on quality
Photoshop histogram, saturation, denoise, reduce size to 75-90%*
* for this image all were resampled to be the same size

Thanks for checking out my images, comments and tips are welcomed.

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.
