Description

I'm posting this as a good example of "Don't assume your data is junk."

This is from one of the first videos I'd shot of Jupiter the weekend before last. I had accidentally saved it to the wrong drive on my system, so it didn't get used when I was processing images from that weekend.

I was doing some clean-up and just about deleted this without looking. After all, I had shot and processed plenty of Jupiter images from that weekend. But before I did, I decided to stack it and see how things worked out.

The result may be the cleanest picture of Jupiter I've made, with minimal processing required to bring out the detail.

Seeing is a fickle thing. I didn't realize I'd gotten a brief glimpse through clearer-than-normal atmosphere with this.
