Jupiter Transit of Europa June 27 2018

One sequence but two different processing methods.
In both cases I used the save video and only change one thing, the DPI of the image in Photoshop CC.
I'll let the photos speak for them selves.
The Video was shot at 1024 X 768 at 80 frames per second.
I didn't quite get that frame rate, at 80 FPS X 60 seconds I should have had 4800 frames but only had 4300.
I ran the file through AutoStakkert2 using the planet setting and stacked 50% of the frames.
I exported to Registax6 and adjusted the wavelets, set the color balance and adjusted the exposure to center in the graph.
I took the resulting file into Photoshop and finished processing the color and sharpness.
One I saved without adjusting the image size.
One I saved after changing the DPI to 256 vs the original 72 and doing a few more tweaks with sharpness and gaussian blur.
This is how a few of us are getting larger images than what we natively shot in.

The 256 really helped out. Kinda surprised.

Thank you.
I was surprised when I stumbled onto this and started adding it to some of my routines.

Curious, have you tried it on any of your past solar pix? That could make such a big difference.

Where do you change the dpi?

I think I got it, I created a new document and used the higher dpi, then pasted the image into the new doc.

I make the change in Photoshop.
Under the image tab is an image size tab. Click and change the DPI.

Yes I really like the 256 DPI Jim.
Very nicely done.

Thank you very much.
I started doing this with planets and I suspect it will work with solar as well.
Just need targets to play with.

Beats me, I just make my changes in Photoshop and save the result as either JPG or PNG.
PNG from TIFF works very well.
Not entirely clear as to what the original question is however.
I'm still learning.
