ASTRO: Jupiter 8-26 Europa transit image/animation
I've attached on image along with an animation. I'm not sure if this is my
best result of Jupiter, but I'm really pleased with the sharpness and the processing in these in regards to the noise, color etc. Notice how the shadows shape is a bit oblong in the last frame of the animation and the single image I posted. It is due to the curvature of the planet. |

Oh my!! that's bad !! ;)
I like how you are able to keep the moon in the image without blowing out Jupiter. Thats a delicate balance I would think. I can't do that with the Celestron modified webcam. - thanks for sharing - Rod -ps - not only are we dealing with the curvature of the shadows cast on the planet but we are getting past opposition and those shadows of Jupiter are also becoming evident, and you show that expertly as well!!.

Thanks Rod. I just went back and reprocessed everything. I have a bad
habit of doing that. What is it called? Obsessive compulsive disorder? I think this animation is quite a bit better with the reprocessed images. I also did the animation a bit differently as a challenge and practice (since I'm teaching myself how to do them). |

Hi - that's not a bad habit - I throw babies out with the bath water at
least a dozen times before noon ;)!! However, you must have a hell of a computer to run everything and reprocess everything that quickly. - still catching my breath - Rod grin J.

PS - I like the effect of not showing Jupiter with it's equator squared
to the left and right of the image. I think this presentation of yours gives a better 3D effect imho. J. Warren wrote: Thanks Rod. I just went back and reprocessed everything.

How do you process the frames so equally? Seems I can't do two the same even if I start with the same data! Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.

Thanks Rick. Well, my camera settings stay the same for each shot. I do
try to readjust focus after each sequence though. I process each sequence exactly the same, but due to seeing, sometimes I have to make minor adjustments to color and gamma to get them to match, but not much. I typically open each image in the same window of Paint Shop Pro and compare them It is easier to tell which ones could stand a bit more sharpening that way. Once I have them to what I think is close, I'll put them all in one folder and hit "preview", scrolling through each one, in the correct order. Kind of a poor man's animation trick. It is at this time that you will really be able to tell which ones you need to adjust the gamma and color on to get them to match. Go back, make the adjustment, save it and preview them again. Once I have that done, I then make the gif. Thanks again. Joel "Rick Johnson" wrote in message ster.com... J. Warren wrote: Thanks Rod. I just went back and reprocessed everything.

ASTRO: Question for you guys, help..
In the animation and images I sent, are you guys seeing a blue halo around
Jupiter? I did not see it on 2 out of 3 computers that I own, but know that some others did in the Cloudy Nights forum. I'm just wondering if ya'll saw it too. Thanks... Joel |

Joel Not on my internet computer but it has the worst monitor. I didn't move it to the computer with the CRT I use for image processing. It sees much better into the shadows.

ASTRO: Question for you guys, help..
Hi - On a couple of frames on the animation I can see something on the
left side of Jupiter that might get interpreted as a blue arc but not a halo. I am not on my best monitors right now - I need to bring it out the old gals back out ... I'm viewing your images on an old View Sonic 19" CRT; I have a classic Samsung 19" CRT and even older Sony Trinitron 21" (mass roughly equals one neutron star ;) ttyl - Rod J.
