Description

I'd been wanting to do some planetary imaging for a while, but life (and weather) kept getting in the way. I finally had a chance to put my deforked ETX-105 to some use this past Saturday. Jupiter was well placed after sunset so out came the trusty G-11 and I mounted the ETX to it. My ASI174mm is the only camera I have suitable for planetary imaging and just barely at that. 

So I shot a bunch of still frames and some video this image is from the best 85% of 12,000 frames. I preprocessed in PIPP then brought the resulting AVI into Autostakkert! 4.06 beta to create a TIF file that I then processed in Photoshop. I was surprised to get both the planet and the moons in one shot. 

It's not Damian Peach or Christopher Go quality, but I'm happy with what I was able to get.
