Jupiter and the moon Io

[chuckp]

I got another clear morning with jupiter in a good position. Celestron 9.25 EDGE with 2.5 Powermate. I used Astrosurface to stack and process most of the image and final adjustments in Photoshop. 30% of 3000 frames

Wow, 3,000 frames? How do you decide which to use?

Thanks ben. Program rates the images and then I look at them and decide on how many to stack.

Thanks Jim, The seeing is so much better in the morning when I'm not getting all the heat currents coming off my neighbors roof. It seems like all my good planetary mages are taken after midnight after .
