Jupiter, October 1, 2023

Waiting for Jupiter to get into a great position by 2am, I'd set up my scope early in the night and let the hot air equalize out of its open tube design. I was quite impressed with the results of patience to ensure I was awake and coherent, and then grab a nice focus, and wait for clouds pass through in between rounds of tries. I did not attempt a barlow for this, which may have been nice to see the impact of, so the results below are with a Takahashi Mewlon 210mm uncorrected Dall Kirkman telescope, and a color ZWO asi462mc color camera + ZWO ADC. The seeing seemed above average, when clouds were not present. This first image below is taking 25% of 7,738 subframes taken each at a speed of 6.0190ms each
Capture Area=640px x 480px
Gain=180

I then processed to enhance some of those features on the planet, including the festoon, while trying to keep the image clear still and not too grainy. Did it get overdone? Let me know in comments, I'm still in search of that perfect planetary image, so I'm never quite satisfied with the outputs yet! Any wavelets settings or routines you like to use on your planetary photos?

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.
