Description

Jupiter on 26.07.2022, 02:48 UT, only 36° above the horizon (that's the maximum here in 2022).
RGB: Celestron SC C14 and Televue Powermate 2x, PlayerOne Mars-C ans Baader UV/IR-Cut,
IR: Meade LX200 12" and Baader FFC, ASI 290MM with Baader IR-Pass,
11xIR (60 sec) and 11xRGB (60 sec), 50% of the frames stacked with AutoStakkert!3, 11 min Jupiter derotated with WinJupos.

This is my first color image of Jupiter in 2022. For the first time I used two telescopes at the same time: on the one hand my C14 and on the other hand the LX200 12", which has been stored in the garden shed for years since switching to the C14. That's the idea: taking the luminance picture with one telescope and the color picture with the other. After this first night I had to realize that under moderate conditions a pure color picture would not have achieved the desired picture depth.The color picture could only be "saved" thanks to the IR channel. In this case, even the LX200 has mastered this function.
