Jupiter captured from Bortle 6 in South Africa
This was captured with my Sky-Watcher Flextube 250P Dobsonian and processed using AutoStakkert and RegiStax. Still learning planetary processing, but I’m pretty happy with the amount of detail that came out.
**Equipment**
* Telescope: Sky-Watcher Flextube 250P (10” Dobsonian)
* Camera: ZWO ASI678MC
* Capture software: SharpCap
* Mount: Manual Dobsonian tracking
**Capture Settings**
* Exposure: 5 ms
* Gain: 70
* Frames captured: 1000
* ROI: 3840 × 2160
**Stacking (AutoStakkert!)**
* Image stabilization: Planet
* Quality estimator: Gradient
* Alignment point size: 56
* Noise robust: 4
* Minimum brightness: 30
* Normalize stack: 75
* Drizzle: Off
* Stack percentage: 10%
**Post Processing (RegiStax)**
* Increased contrast and decreased brightness
* Wavelet sharpening using layers 1–4 with light denoise to avoid grain
Would appreciate tips on how tips on how to improve. Thanks!
