Jupiter and Mars on Sept 26


Images of Jupiter and Mars from early this morning. I was playing with the hyperstar until midnight so I didn’t do Saturn. Clear, temps in 60s around one; down to the 50s in twilight hours. Seeing was about 5/10, it improved somewhat nearer to sunrise. Same setup C14Edge UV/IR cut filter, Zwo ADC and Zwo 462MC camera. Didn’t use the ADC, I was pre-occupied with some annoying computer memory issues. Processed with AutoStakkert, Registax6, and PS.

Jupiter at 1:25 am, gain 163, exposure 6.161 msec, duration 1 min, 8,581 frames at 143 fps. Stacked best 5% with AutoStakkert; wavelet sharpened with Registax6.
