Jupiter - 2026/1/16

My best image of Jupiter to date.

Variable seeing conditions, but above average for the most part.

C6, ASI585MC, Optolong UV/IR Cut filter, Celestron Omni 2x Barlow.

Amazing! especially with a c6. I'm getting a 6se soon, any tips for Jupiter imaging?

[frozen finch]

Good camera, good imaging technique and processing skills, good Barlow, (NECESSITY) good seeing conditions

Probably go with a capture no longer than 2 minutes, I usually do 60 seconds

So cool! For the timelapse, what was the time interval between each capture? And how many hours did the timelapse take?

[frozen finch]

Each capture was one minute each with no delay in between as I wanted to create a slow and smooth rotation

I think I had around 124 captures, so around 2 hours

Do you use an adc?

Been trying to get more detail out of a c6 but been struggling lol

This is what my results usually look like

Nope, I don’t have one. Looks like you just need better seeing

Thank you for letting me know!

The angle of the planet changes during the rotation animation, I've seen some animations where this is not the case so how do people fix it? Do you have to manually rotate the frames?
