| Saturn 9/18/19 from Pleasant Hill, CA |
These images of Jupiter and Saturn were taken mid September (9/18/19) from my new Celestron 8SE telescope. The image was captured with an ZWO ASI camera directly connected to the telescope. I used the program PIPP to turn the AVI video file into individual BMP frames. I then stacked a few hundred frames to create the detail as seen above using RegiStax 6.
Although I'm just learning how to pre-process and post-process the captured images to reveal detailed pictures, the difference between a stack of images vs. a 1-off is astounding. The detail that can be revealed by stacking the frames is pretty crazy.
I actually learned about this specific sequence of processing the images from a member of the Astrophotography Beginners group on Facebook.
