Albuqshutterbug Loc: Albuquerque NM
 
All shot with Celestron C8 SCT on a Celestron CGEM mount using a Celestron 236C color CMOS camera.

1 Minute videos at 1024 X 768 at 90 frames per second.
Processed the videos in Autostakkert2 and stacked 20% of the frames.
Processed the resulting Tiff file in Registack6 to adjust the wavelets.
Took that file into Photoshop CC and adjusted the size, crop and white balance.
Here are a few of last nights shots.

Nice series.

Question, I’ve had a few where towards the outside of Jupiter, maybe just a few cm in, I get a circular ring. It’s not a smooth circle. I think I can see a slight one in your images. Any idea what may cause that?

Thank you.
In my case I am pretty sure it’s stacking artifact. Sometimes I think the best quality pictures are not ones that line up just right.
That’s my story I’m sticking to it.

From what I understand those rings finally ended the debate of how Uranus was pronounced.

I'm still waiting for somebody to change the pronunciation of Klingons...

Thank you Brian.
I’m hoping that you are getting some “up time” as well.

I don't know if this will work...

Trying to upload a gif animation.

By Jove, I think it twerks!

I had to attempt to crop and resize the individual images. But obviously not that good.

Considering what you had to work with, it turned out pretty nicely.
Thank you.
I’ll have to check that out.

It's a blast for series shots.
Took my old rasin a while to remember about the gifmaker site.

Much easier if the images are all the SAME SIZE.
I have the must rudimentary of processing stuff to work with. So trying to crop them to a sameness was a PITA!

But if you need any help playing with gif'in a series, just message me.

I hoped you wouldn't mind me messin with your images....
