silly guy… i’m talking about the one above the red spot
oh
still surface detail
that must be the melted eclipse bro
This is my image of Jupiter with an 8inch at the same focal length. I would try to get the camera to perform better. When you record video using the asiair you have to use small FOV's it increases your frame rate. I made two separate videos for the planet and the moon in my image. If a higher frame rate doesnt fix it, its likely processing or something wrong with the telescope, likely collimation.
Thanks for the tip. When I made the smaller videos they always looked bad but I see now its the auto zoom / auto fit screen making the preview look bad.
I did try a smaller capture this same night and I see now that I did get a higher capture rate at the smaller roi.
320x240 @ 52 fps
1280 x 960 @ 11 fps
Here is a pic from the 320x240 video
Im happy you got some improved performance from that. Another thing I noticed is video length, I used to do 3 minute videos but I tried a 2 minute and I was shocked at the difference. It seems even the extra minute blurs the planet slightly due to rotation. Also, play with stacking quantities. Stacking 20% is good if you have porrer seeing, but if the seeing is exceptional you can get away with stacking much more, stacking more reduces noise. Its a balance between recording seeing, sharpness, and noise level.
Thanks. I was testing 3 minutes vs 2. Good to hear.
Looks like I will need a better camera when using a 3x barlow. Jupiter on the 3x will take the entire screen on 1280x960 which means 10 fps with the 224mc.
