more jupiter images 2023

Renowned amateur astronomer Christopher Go appealed to the OCA for images of Jupiter so I've been cranking them out and working on my technique.  


Jupiter 11/26/23 05:53.3 UTC

"chimney open"




imaging details:
details mostly provided in image annotations

new laptop is allowing much higher capture rates without dropped frames, especially at larger frame sizes ;) 20,000 800x800 frames in 90 seconds!
the downside is the video files are much large so the terabyte hard drive fills up after 3 or 4 imaging sessions :(
processing in autostakkert also takes much longer

tried stacking unsharpened images in winjupos, then sharpening the combined image
the result was horrible
so will probably be doing more sharpening prior to winjupos combine

tried oversharpening final images, then used topaz denoise to remove sharpening artifacts
the result was very impressive

working on planetary autoguiding with firecapture.  having trouble with RA oscillations occasionally throwing the planet way out of the frame (editing these frames out with virtualdub).
