Great images Albereo!
Nice and colorful and sharp.
I've got clouds tonight.
But tomorrow night is supposed to be good.

Next time I'll try with more focal length. Maybe I'll be blessed with great seeing conditions.

Hi alberio
Those are great shots. How many frames did you end up stacking for these image.

Ok, I noticed the final images don't have quite the resolution and maybe my tracking isn't real good.
Here is the camera settings for Mars with a image of Mars. Registax6 said the stack size was 199. Jupiter was 240 and Saturn was 164. The AVI file for Mars was 3.8gb, Saturn was 3.1gb and Jupiter was 4.5gb

Hi alberio
Your skies must have be fairly good, as those are fantastic images for less than 1000 frames being stacked. As long as the image didn't drift out of view the tracking shouldn't matter since the stacking software will re-center the planet for each frame. For me getting the focus was the most difficult part particularly with the bad seeing I've been having (I need to either build or buy a fine focuser to attach to the scope). For my Mars shots I was taking 2 minutes of video for each LRGB filter which created 4 15 gig files. Since the total time was over 240 seconds, I used winJUPOS to derotate the stacked filter shots to keep planetary rotation from blurring the image. On Jupiter anything over 1 minute can start to show rotational blurring. I found that winJUPOS is fairly easy to use and is free.

I timed my avi video of jupiter and it was about 32 sec. So if it was set at 60 fps that would figure about 1,900 frames. Maybe Registax6 only saved
the best 240 frames. The skies were as steady as I've seen here.
