Here’s my latest best Jupiter shot. Getting more detail now on the dark red bands and cloudy areas.

This was shot using the Orion Starshoot Autoguider using Astronomic type 2c R,G,B filters.

R,G: 450 frames at 10fr/sec, 100ms exposure

B: 225 frames an 5fr/sec, 150ms exposure

Note that all of these above image sequences were recorded using the gain boost and noise reduction features of the camera. I feel that this image has less detail than some of my earlier images, so I’m not going to be using gain boost and noise reduction going forward.
