Jupiter on 2020-09-17 at 42" with 5" Mak

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Jupiter in good seeing at 13° elevation. Composite of three 180s exposures, derotated and merged in WinJUPOS. A storm in the northern equitorial band visible. Also three oval white spots in the southern region visible - a first for my small scope.

Workflow for final revision: AS!3 for stacking (20%, no drizzle), Registax for color balance and mild sharpening, WinJUPOS for derotation and merging, AstroSurface for deconvolution and Registax again for final sharpening and denoise. Composition and color tuning in Affinity Photo.

Workflow for revision B: Stacking in AS!3 (x2 4500 frames, 1x 2500 frames), then color balance and deconvolution and slight wavelet sharpening on pixels layers 1 & 2 in PixInsight, the derotation and combination in WinJUPOS and final sharpening and denoise in RegiStax. Composition in Affinity Photo.

I prefer a mild sharpening even if it means that some details are not as clear as possible. If I sharpen more, I severely dislike the color balance due to the strong contrasts.

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.
