Jupiter - 15 Sept 2023

Revision title: Reprocessed in Astrosurface and Image Analyser

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Jupiter less than 1 hour before transit sitting at 51° elevation, allowing much finer detail to be revealed than a couple of hours earlier in this long session.

Title: Channel specific DN+Sat

Description: Follow feedback from Niall I worked out how to apply channel specific DN using Affinity Photo (much messier process than in PS, but I wanted to keep in one program). I also added a touch of additional saturation & vibrance, plus a similar light touch of unsharp mask. The differences are very subtle, but hopefully worthwhile.

Title: Colour Bal using 50% grey point technique

Description: With Niall's help, I worked out how to adjust the colour balance in PS using his 50% grey point technique. Also used PS for selective channel DN. Added a tad Unsharp Mask in Affinity Photo, before replacing the image in this annotated version.

Title: Reprocessed in Astrosurface and Image Analyser

Description: With no new data to process I decided to download and try a couple of new to me processing tools, Astrosurface and Image Analyser. So this is the first planetary image I've ever produced that did not include using Regisax. The data out of AS3! was processed in Astrosurface, before derotation in WinJupos, with the derotated image back into Astrosurface for further wavelets adjustments. Final processing was done using the Frequency Domain, Restoration by Deconvolution, Saturation & Vibrance and Adaptaive Noise Reduction (to remove colour noise) filters in Image Analyser.

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.
