Description

This won't win any prize, but it's my first LRGB shot of one of the planets with the ZWO ASI 120MM. Interesting experience.

This was an opportunistic grab just after imaging some other targets, while the DSLR was grabbing darks. Jupiter was high on the sky and right before dawn I though I could grab a few frames.

As it turned out, it was right during dawn, because by the time I had set up everything the sun was already showing itself, and a few frames became 12.000

Still not as sharp as I had hoped. I think I've got focus issues.

Jupiter shows the bands quite clearly (though a bit fuzzily). No red spot in sight

One can see Jupiter's moons in orbit, enhanced because they're not bright enough against Jupiter itself otherwise. From top to bottom, left to right: Callisto, Europa, Io, Ganymede.

B

Description: Applied gaussian deconvolution to refocus, and dropped the luminance channel. It seems Jupiter had rotated enough that the luminance channel no longer matched the RGB channels :-o
