Jupiter - 364 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were acquired using a Philips ToUCam Pro webcam in moderate seeing conditions. Each image was processed using Registax. The Jovian satellites Io and Europa can be seen.

Jupiter - 422, 180, 369 and 125 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were acquired using a Philips ToUCam Pro webcam. They were processed using an unsharp mask (strength 7) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). Both images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. The shadow of Jovian satellite Io can be seen.
 |
Jupiter - 55 and 39 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were acquired using a Philips ToUCam Pro webcam. They were processed using an unsharp mask (strength 7) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). Both images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. Jovian satellite Io can be seen approaching the planet limb.
 |
Jupiter - 30 and 56 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were acquired using a Philips ToUCam Pro webcam. They were processed using an unsharp mask (strength 7) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). Both images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. Jovian satellite Io and it's shadow on Jupiter can be seen. On this night the seeing was particularly bad with the planet only being visible for short durations between clouds.

Jupiter - 51 and 147 stacked images |
The following Jupiter image was acquired using a Philips ToUCam Pro webcam. It was processed using an unsharp mask (strength 7) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). The image had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro.

Jupiter - 37 stacked images |
The following Jupiter image was acquired using a Philips ToUCam Pro webcam. It was processed using an unsharp mask (strength 5) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). The image had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. The satellite Ganymeade and its shadow on the globe of Jupiter can be seen.

Jupiter - 51 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were all processed using an unsharp mask (strength 5) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). All images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. The seeing conditions were quite turbulent when these images were acquired as the planet was positioned over my house!
 |
Jupiter - 29 and 71 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were all processed using an unsharp mask (strength 8) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). All images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. The seeing conditions were quite bad when these images were acquired. In the final image the red spot is just about to move onto the disc of the planet.

Jupiter - 79, 73, 117 and 78 stacked images |
The following Jupiter images were taken with my OMC140 Maksutov telescope. On this particular night I considered the seeing and atmospheric turbulence too bad to use the larger aperture Ultima 9.25 telescope. The smaller aperture of the OMC140 seemed to provide a steadier image. For all the images I used a Televue 2.5x barlow lens to increase the image scale and my Philips Vesta Pro webcam. The images were all processed using an unsharp mask (strength 8) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). All images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro.

Jupiter - 81, 108, 114, 90, and 65 stacked images |  |
An animation made from the 5 individual images. |
The Jupiter images below were all processed using an unsharp mask (strength 8) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). All images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. In the first image the shadow of satellite Europa can be seen on the right hand limb of the planet. In the third image satellite Io can just be seen just off the right hand limb of the planet. The seeing conditions were quite bad when these images were acquired.

Jupiter - 72, 84, 68 and 87 stacked images |
The Jupiter images here were processed using an unsharp mask (strength 8) and the CIT algorithm (1 iteration). All images had a gaussian blur applied using Paint Shop Pro. In the last Jupiter image the great red spot can be seen just coming into view on the left side of the planet..

Jupiter - 89, 120, 99, 67, 63, 162, 89, 104 and 80 stacked images |  |
An animation made from the 9 individual images. |
All Images were processed using an unsharp mask (strength 5) and the CIT algorithm (3 iterations) followed by a gaussian blur in Paint Shop.
